The metal scene here as died down a little bit over the past few years, but it is definitely making a comeback. There used to be quite a few decent bands that played regular shows here, but one of the main venues where they used to play closed down and a lot of the bands split-up etc. We actually had a small little metal event this past weekend and two other SA bands (Bile of Man and Bloodbeast) came down to play as well. The venue they got wasn't the biggest, but the support was great. That place was packed. The biggest problem the scene faces here IMO is definitely a decent venue that can be used for regular shows.
