An americanized form of melodic death metal combining said genres with elements of groove metal and metalcore. Typical traits of this genre include predominantly harsh vocals (although cleans can make an apperance), syncopated rhythms and heavy riffing reliant somewhat less reliant of melody and leads and more reliant on rhythm. Most of the original Gothenburg melodeath bands ended up switching to this sound in the mid 00s (In Flames, Soilwork was a great example) Examples include: DevilDriver, Lamb of God (some songs), Sylosis, 2000s Soilwork, Later In Flames
