I mean, metalcore in the 00's used to draw a lot from melodeath. (In the 90's it was closer to hardcore punk, and in the last 5-10 years it's been starting to incorporate more and more Meshuggah influences, as well as post-rock elements and even some nu metal) There's even this joke/stereotype that all metalcore bands from that era almost literally ripped off Slaughter of the Soul.
