Let's be real, in the black metal heyday of the early 90's it was hard to tell the difference between bands. Just as metalcore has the gruff vocals with the chug riffing followed by the melodic chorus and breakdown formula- your standard fare black metal has the ****ty production value, unintelligible shrieked vocals, and non stop tremolo picking formula.
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
