Alright, so as always I am refining my lists, and I seek opinions. A while ago I took Between the Buried and Me from metalcore/mathcore and put them in progressive metal, since they're so progressive that it made sense. I'm now considering moving Protest the Hero from metalcore to progressive metal as well, since I've seen them called progressive, but they seem much more of a metalcore band at heart than BtBaM, so I don't know that it would be justified.
It would free up room in metalcore to add either Norma Jean or Earth Crisis or Unearth (me neither, but they're still an important band in the genre), and I could then move Gojira from prog to groove/post-thrash to strengthen that battle. I mean, out of all the battles, I'm most dubious about that one, and it's just so hard to find bands that deserve to be included in this thread...
Groove/Post-Thrash Metal
1. Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
2. Meshuggah - Chaosphere
3. Machine Head - The Blackening
4. Sepultura - Chaos A.D.
5. Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn
6. Exhorder - The Law
7. Hatebreed - Perseverence
8. Prong - Cleansing
9. Anthrax - Sound of White Noise
