I disagree with your opinion of Converge; At the Gates were the pioneers of metalcore.
'Scene grind' isn't even a genre--as I'm sure you know; the term you're looking for is tech grind. I assume you're talking about bands like The Great Redneck Hope, Cloacal Kiss, Destroyer Destroyer, Ed Gein, MAHCIU, Robinson... hm, let's see... The Sawtooth Grin, See You Next Tuesday, Stand Before the Firing Squad, Vessels Cast from Crippled Hands, et al.
Yes, I'm a namedropping whore; yes, I listen to these bands. No, I am not scene.
And a band doesn't need to be technical to be considered tech grind.
