Reverb on modern metal rhythm guitars?

Just wondering if it's usual to add reverb to metal rhythm guitars, and if so what sort of settings are recommended?

I'm working on some mixes in the vein of Killswitch Engage or As I Lay Dying, going for that big american sound. The (double-tracked) guitars are close-miked and dry, SM57 near the cone and a condenser about a foot away. There's little to no room sound on there, for the simple reason that I don't have a nice sounding room. That said, the results are better than I expected given the equipment I'm working with.

I know that the trick to this sound is a good valve amp and cab, cranked right up, but I don't know how much room sound you'd normally get, or if reverb would be added anyway.

Cheers!
