You tell me where the melody is here
To me, that's just noise.
I know; I'm a girl.  But that's how I view music like this. |
Most of the melody comes from the guitar. Take this metalcore(It's one of the few metalcore bands I like) riff for example when I sing along with it and slow it down(although not really extreme metal, I suck at playing guitar and this is simple and I can easily find tabs for it).

That's definitely a melody.
Or what about this riff at the beginning which most of my friends find that sounds very random.

The timing on that one is rather odd, but that has to do with the fact that it has mathcore elements.
Sure, it's a weird type of melody, but it's definitely a melody..
