We may not have Ozzfest, or the other huge metal venues these days, but we do have something that wasn't really a big thing until fairly recently. The Internet. These days, small indie bands don't have to "break out" in order to potentially reach massive audiences.
The metal landscape may have changed in recent years, but I don't think that it means that metal is dying. It just means that things are changing. The fact that some people are predicting the death of metal just shows that they haven't come to grips with the new reality of non-mainstream, non-corporate, non-top-40 music. And that reality is the Internet.

I'm with you 100%, Thanks to Spotify and a number of excellent websites and blogs I've discovered over the past year, my interest in metal (especially prog-metal) has increase multi-fold.
I really should've added a caveat to the post.
