Had a few days to think about this, and as previously discussed, Rise Against kicks ass! Really tho, Im not sure what sounds similar to the others listed, you might give Mudvayne a listen. As far as high intensity without goin over the edge, I like a lot of punk. A lot of Pennywise kicks ass, also, a lot of people tend to dog on them these days, but the first album from The Offspring......Ignition, rocked, and still does. What about Sevendust? Im sure you've heard plenty of linkin Park, Oh!! Static X!!! Theres one of my fav's. And last one maybe is the older white zombie, before he branched out on his own.

One other thing you might check out is this link:
