Judging by the image, their concern is more that a lot of the bands they currently listen to are simply of an age that they've retired or died. It's not a lack of fans that stopped Black Sabbath from playing, it's that the members are well in to their 70s
Just go to shows. Stop worrying about if they’re perfect or if they’ll be around forever. Just go and get out of your comfort zone sometimes. Nobody here can tell you who will be around in a decade. None of that really matters though if you stop worrying and just go and support musicians you enjoy as directly as you can.
Check out Battle Beast. Strong 80s vibe, very theatrical. Their most recent album, circus of doom, is quite good imo, and they sound even better live. Highly recommend!
It’s tricky because there is so much classic thrash on here, but that genre died and was revived and then died again. If you get a taste for death metal or some of the other more contemporary extreme subgenres it’ll be easier to follow current bands and see them in the future.
Here are a few modern recommendations you might like:
Unto Others (fka “Idle Hands” ) - Mana
Tribulation - Down Below
Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race
I know you said newer bands but you might also like some other older stuff like Pantera, Biohazard, Sepultura, Testament, Corrosion of Conformity, Type O Negative, Overkill, etc.
