Communic are, I suppose, the obvious examples. Although I personally think that's pretty debatable. The vocals occasionally sound WD-esque but that's about it.

see sig, also grey skies fallen (full discography for download on their website) search over myspace: Vomitron - instrumentals with thrash and death metal like riffs 7th son - progressive thrash divinity destroyed - progressive death/thrash with influences from tribal and asian music.
Melechesh (I'm sure most of you know them, but I'll mention them anyway)- Earlier stuff is traditional black metal with Near-Eastern touches. More recent stuff is black/thrash written using ancient, meditative, Mesopotamian folk music theories. Seventh Wonder- Prog with AOR. Very melodic, but heavy. Really addictive Tomorrow's Eve- Prog. Pretty heavy, moody, emotional and not really wanky. Vocals have a Warrel vibe to them. Machinery- power/modern thrash. Worwyk- Heavy/modern thrash. Sabbat (Jap)- Very underrated death/thrash/proto-black metal. Enochian Crescent- Weird black metal. Last album is mix of thrash and black with hints of avant-garde. Burning Inside- Tech death with Richard Christy and Michael Estes of Acheron. Atheretic- Over the top tech death
I would recommend Ludicra, a quality black metal-ish band from the Bay Area... http://www.myspace.com/ludicra
