There are remnants of the 80's metal SOUND everywhere. The problem is that, as the 80's came to a close, the "sound" became power ballads and the "music" became music videos of guys with girl hair.
80's commercial metal survives to this day in a great many bands that it influenced to varying degrees. Even some of these stoner bands were influenced by it (even if they won't admit it).
