Haven't given FFDP that much of a listen past the radio singles, but I understand their first two albums are indeed melodic metalcore, but then their vocalist had to have surgery and lost the ability to scream, and so they had to switch to what you hear on the radio.
Ignore all of this but Zao, cause Zao are amazing. Suicide Silence are ass, Bring Me the Horizon are not for people with taste (though I do like some of their ****), and I don't know about Asking Alexandria but I haven't heard anything about them that made me think they were worth listening to. But Zao are gods.

I'd be interested in hearing the range of what metal has to offer. After diving a little bit deeper I'm already finding it's pretty diverse. I really liked Zao, was amused to read that they started off as a Christian metal band.
Coming into this I already have some taste for Hardcore Punk, and I can kind of hear the fusion and am finding it appealing in that sense. I recognize Bring Me the Horizon as one of the bands my friend listens to, and I like quite a few of the songs that I've heard of them too.
Also read someone somewhere on here recommended a band called "Enslaved", which I really like.
