I'm not going to flame you for a change as you've got the basic idea right: metalheads are almost all idiots(the humor, of course, is that you're an idiot too, but I digress). I'd also like to point out that the bands that "grow up" almost always wind up playing a type of music that was already exhausted in the 80s.

Off the top of my head:
any band on tUMULT. Especially Weakling, and that band who has that weird carrot fixation

Lengsel played an excellent brand of progressive black metal on their one album, Solace. Not highly produced stuff either, that album has this elusive 'IT' that I get when hearing the best or Graveland or Abigor. It came out in 2000 I think.
Antestor and Vaakevandring are decent sorrow-black. Both of their best releases (in the latter, their only) are in 98/99.
The U.S. scene has been putting out some ok talent in the past few years as well. Aurora Borealis isn't too bad of a band either, though not quite as original as some, and there's some others I can't remember.

I will only post innovation within black metal, no genre-interbreeding:
I agree 100% with Negura Bunget
I also agree with Nargaroth (Herbstleyd)
Ulver's Bergtatt or Nattens Madrigal should be mentioned
You should also not forget the ultra primitive and raw but atmospheric Ildjarn.

only took 2 1/2 hours to take the bait, you guys are getting slow 
regardless those bands do have some great music, I don't completely agree with the idealogy argument. Besides, it's fun to say things that, while not trolling, you know nobody is going to agree with.

Nargaroth are the polar opposite of innovation.crimsonfloyd said:
The best post-1996 black metal offerings are those of Summoning, but to throw in a new band I'll add Averse Sefira. Both of their cd's are tremendous.

Hahaha I have no idea how Nargaroth got on my list twice. Anyways I don't get all the claims of Nargaroth being Burzum worship (unless were talking about BMIK, but that is an obvious acception. I find most of their stuff to be very innovative. I haven't heard anyone else use similar progressions to the ones Kanwulf uses on the newer recordings...

Nargaroth isn't particularly Burzum worship, BUT he does completely steal riffs from Varg as well as from Moonblood, Strid, and a few other bands. Kanwulf is also a massive lier and walking contradiction.
