Sevendust and Godsmack are Alternative Metal.
Rammstein is Industrial Metal
Five Finger Death Punch is Groove Metal
Slipknot is tough to figure where they go. They have extreme metal elements, but too melodic to be extreme metal. I think the cadence and pattern of vocals may lead to them being categorized as Nu Metal.
Mudvayne… no fn idea what to label them as. They could be alternative metal. They could be prog metal. They could be groove metal. Chevelle would also be alternative metal. They’re more influenced by Tool than anything like hip hop.

Three Days Grace isn’t a metal band.

I’m not too familiar with Gravity Kills but the other bands all have rap and hip hop influences.

Yes I would say the main aspect of nu metal is the rap influence, which bands like Godsmack and Disturbed don't have. Some people just lump every band that came out around that time into nu metal but they don't all fit. Slipknot and Deftones had some rap influences on the first albums but moved away from it. Slipknot does still have a dj though. Nu metal is one of the more fluid metal subgenres, lots of bands may dabble in it for an album or two but then change it up later.
