I used plugin alliance's metal2 plugin but truth is you can get a similar sound without it, just scoop the mids but still retain some upper mids in there to give it some meat. The HM2 was usually used with everything to the max going into a clean channel of an amp.
With podfarm you can pretty much play around until you get a decent sound but the upper mids will always be fizzly and sizzly. You can sculpt out a lot with an eq with really tight band curves. And besides in metal a lot of the guitar sound comes from the bass as well, when they play together it just creates a huge sound. So don't be afraid to distort the bass guitar.
One thing I would do is invest in something like Redwirez Impulses or some similar product, as that will give you the option to choose from a wide selection of mics and cabinets and quite frankly they sound better to my ears than the stock cab emulations from podfarm, amplitube, th3 or any other guitar amp plugin out there. You just bypass the cab in the amp plugin and use a REdwirez cab impulse for the cabinets.
There are a ton of things you can do though, like quad track guitars with different settings, use less gain, yep you don't need it cranked up especially if you use an amp sim, use multiple mics on cabinets to get a fuller and bigger sound etc. etc. etc.
