I'm into melody, if that helps you understand me better. Or what I consider melody anyway.

Ah, if you want melody, not liking punk makes sense. Some do have more melody but the majority is not very melodic.
Slayer did do a hardcore punk cover album, since they were inspired by Hardcore Punk bands. If you like Slayer you might find some Crossover Thrash (Hardcore Punk + Thrash Metal) band you like.

Yeah, Undisputed attitude: I reviewed it in Metal Month II.
Again, as I say, I'm not actively looking for punk bands. I don't have too much interest in getting into that style of music. If I come across an album I don't hate then fine, but I am not looking for recs for punk bands. I can't honestly say I liked Slayer but I learned through that experience not to hate them, or just dismiss them out of hand. That's about the best I can say.
