Ranked over all 150 genres in the encyclopedia, on the 3 answers you gave, weighted vocals 3, pace 2, about 1 out of 6. Progressive metalcore leads the next by 3 points. Where two genres score the same the broader one wins, because a genre with subgenres under it is somewhere to carry on from and a leaf is a full stop.

The first is the entry point for Metalcore, one step outside, so the second record has something to be heard against. After it come Progressive metalcore's essential records in the order the encyclopedia lists them. Every one of these has a page here with links out to somewhere it can be played.
If that is not it
-
New nu metal 87%
The generation raised on Korn and Slipknot brings back low tunings and electronic textures with today's production.
4 steps from Progressive metalcore, meeting it only at Heavy metal.
The way into New nu metal -
Emo 83%
Hardcore in which the lyrics turn confessional and the voice cracks. The term started as an insult and became an entire decade of fashion.
On the other branch of the tree entirely, and 8 steps from Progressive metalcore.
The way into Emo
Not simply the second and third of the ranking: those are almost always near neighbours of the first, which is three names for one suggestion. An alternate has to sit at least 4 steps through the tree from the headline and from the other alternate, which is the same floor the "sounds like this, but isn't" panel uses.
