Well considering I LOVE metal music(not nu metal or mallcore though) then yeah, I should say so! Some examples: Gordian Knot, Control Denied, Keldian, Morgana Lefay and a ton of others! There are some non-metal obscure artists I enjoy as well though, such as Silver Apples, Joy Division, The Sisters of Mercy, etc.
I like a lot of Japanese and Taiwanese artists that I can't imagine would be popular here in the United States, noway nohow. Especially the ones from Taiwan.
