Meshuggah on the songs that they have solos in and animals as leaders. That's all I know.

That's pretty cool, sounds like tech death opeth or something. I really like how they don't use the lowest string very often so the rare times they do it REALLY has an impact. Their EP is great.
After the Burial must have SIGNIFICANTLY changed their sound, because I remember them being mindless 2-low-string chug.
I can't think of any off-hand that use the highest strings for anything other than long drone notes and solos, but I think that counts! Some of their songs certainly have riffs that aren't just lowest string chugfests too, though. I, Obzen and Koloss all have plenty of riffs that make their way up the neck/strings. If you're looking for stuff with like, a bunch of high string arpeggiation or something, I dunno if you're going to find it! I could always plug the obvious Deftones (Koi No Yokan, anyway, the 8 string songs on Diamond Eyes are kinda what you describe) and Little Tybee though.

i saw this a while ago on here but hes definitely using all 8 strings!
Who is this? That is beautiful!
I also would recommend Ihsahn. He is a very talented player and is not djent. He started using 7's on the last 2 albums with Emperor, and his first album with 8's is his solo project album after.

They've been all over the fretboard from the very beginning, they've never ever been "2-low-string chug."
