Like, I was going to say them.
If you like In Flames, try Bleeding Through's album "This is Love, This is Murder". It has well defined references to In Flames.
Arch Enemy too.
Still Remains are some kind of super-Trivium.
But more on the metalcore genre, you need to hear stuff from:
- All That Remains
- Killswitch Engage
- Underoath
- As I Lay Dying
- Ill Nino
...etc.
Personally, I'd recommend...
- Testament
- Anthrax
- Shadows Fall
- Exodus
- Suicidal Tendencies
- Forbidden
- Overkill
- Bury Your Dead
- Diecast
- The Haunted
Also, I recommend you give thrash metal a good listen (and more than just Slayer); some of the bands I mentioned above either are thrash, or have thrash influences.
What he said, as well as late 80's Megadeth, and a six-piece English noisecore/death/virtuoso band called Sikth. Sikth really are amazing, check out their newest single Bland Street Bloom on youtube for a good idea of their stuff. Oh, and Death are an amazing band too.

Chimaira.
Awesome blend of metal guitar riffs, smooth double-kickdrum beats.
Its my ultimate intensity music.
In particular, try their self titled album "Chimaira".
In particular, the following songs:
Save Ourselves
Salvation
Left For Dead
Bloodlust
Inside the Horror
Pray for All
Lazarus
WICKED-AWESOME SIG.
you should maybe give heaven shall burn a try they aint too bad where it comes to screamy metal lol

For threadstarter, listen to PAINKILLER by Judas Priest or DON'T BREAK THE OATH by Mercyful Fate.
This 'death-doom' subgenre has little to offer except rehashed, unoriginal, easily processed fatalism. Try the so-called 'traditional doom': Reverrend Bizarre, Electric Wizard or Black Sabbath (Cathedral's frist album is also in this category). Solitude Aeturnus's early albums are overlooked classics; they speed up at times and avoid sounding introspective to the point of cheesiness like lots of other doom metal. Pagan Altar is good too but their recordings are horrible and I think they're a joke.
Ahahahahaha.
Ahahaha.
Death-doom is hardly unoriginal and rehashed. Each band I recommened are pretty damned different from one another. You can't say that diSEMBOWELMENT sounds anything like Saturnus because that'd just be stupid, it is one of the more diverse doom subgenres to be quite honest.
Traditional doom is good yes, but to say that death-doom is "unoriginal" is just ignorant.
This man has the right idea. Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Ayreon, Symphony X and Porcupine Tree are all excellent. If you like Prog-metal, of course, which, since you like Opeth and Tool, I'm assuming you do.
I would also recommend you some Nightwish and Epica (if you're open to Symphonic Metal), and Biomechanical (some good old-fashioned British Thrash... with added film score influences...). Oh, and of course Queensryche's 'Operation Mindcrime' is a classic album which is well worth a listen.
