I think it\'s a distinct enough movement that really doesn\'t sound like anything else to warrant a slot. Metalcore is really the closest that one can come to describing the sound; they\'re too metallic for hardcore, grindcore, crust, and powerviolence, but too punkish to be sludge and WAY too punkish to be death metal. Spiritually, most of them have at least some connection to old-school metalcore (some more than others; e.g. Xibalba and Trap Them being closer in spirit than, say, YaitW or Nails); deathcore was generally more of a 60/40 spiritual split between death metal and metalcore at first (back in the days of TRC, Despised Icon, All Shall Perish, and the other originators) before nu-metal, melodic metalcore, and djent started to creep in and diluted the genre enough to mostly separate it from metalcore. Also, Entombedcore would definitely not be prominent enough to warrant a separate spot back around 2010 or so, but the fact of the matter is that it\'s exploding right now and will only get bigger for the foreseeable future, and, for better or for worse, is the closest thing we\'ve got to a resurrection of the old school right now.
