Not gonna pretend I read the entire thread, but I have two major problems with this thread. It's under metal, when it should be under hardcore. And OP seems to think that the more hardcore influenced bands are less innovative than Killswitch Engage or As I lay Dying, when obviously the reverse is true.
The original metallic hardcore bands of the 90s are what give the genre any real music credibility, for example bands like Starkweather and Ringworm. Bands nowadays all sound pretty much the same. |

As a side: you seem to be a black metal fan, there's nothing wrong with that but black metal isn't necessarily where I would go if I were in search of innovation and the ability to distinguish between bands |

Now I will give credit where it's due and say that black metal is pretty cool with added elements; like Agalloch has the whole ambient folk thing going for them, Equilibrium has a symphonic twist on their black metal sound, and Wolves in the Throne Room combines so many influences its hard to name them all. Basically what i'm getting at is that black metal isn't a very good antithesis against the metalcore formula |
