I am a huge fan of heavy metal (not to be confused with nu-metal) what is the most innovative and inspiring metal band that still produces music?

If you're into true heavy metal, I recommend a group called Dream Evil.
They're quite new, but they are one of the only groups that can make proper metal like the late 80s bands did. Listen to the album Book of Heavy Metal. It's such a classic!
Apart from that, it depends on what exactly do you like.
If you like more melodic/power metal stuff, try Gamma Ray, Edguy (all but the newest album, which is radio rock, not metal), Freedom Call, older Blind Guardian...
I've just discovered a new band which was instantly my favourite:
Sabaton. They're melodic heavy metal with a lot of keyboards.
If you wish to discuss the contemporary metal scene in greater detail, you're welcome to mail me.
Hail the gods of heavy metal and may they protect us from those hopeless NU n00bs.. who wouldn't know real metal even if it hit them in the forehead in the shape of a ten ton steam engine.. ;)
Hails \m/
