Here's a few metalcore bands I dig, some could even be considered death metal:

Caliban
Any Given Day
Amorphis (sort of progressive though)
Darkest Hour
dEMOTIONAL
Heart Of A Coward
Trivium
More Than A Thousand
My Dear Addiction
The Sorrow
The Unguided
First of all, Matt Heafy's screaming has always been awful. Dude has no feeling to his vocals. He's just going through the motions.

Secondly, Amorphis is in no way shape or form a metalcore band. I honestly have no earthly idea where you got that notion. They started out as a stone cold death metal band, and then transitioned to melodic death metal on their way to being a progressive metal band.


From their first album, if you don't believe me.
