Better yet, jam "Misery's Crown" by Dark Tranquillity and then something off of Close to a World Below.

I don't know, everything up until Hail to the King was pretty metalcore imo, just without any screamed vocals. Really shitty metalcore at that.
um
CoE and the s/t aren't metalcore at all

Melodic death metal is a genre. That Gothenburg sound of In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates, Insomnium, etc. would fall under melodic death metal. In the metal realm it is a very distinguishing sound from bands like Gorguts, Ulcerate, Immolation, etc.

listen to suffocation, gorguts, immolation, anything that we've mentioned and then listen to early in flames or dark tranquillity and try to say the melodic tag is not necessary.

melodeath is also way more focused on including power choruses than regular dm.

there's a lot of differences really, it's not like it's just death metal with more melody. there's more to it than that usually
well in the gothenburg bands at least

melodic metalcore is melodeath and metalcore influences, but normal metalcore isn't.

fair enough but then why does melodic metalcore and melodic hardcore not have distinguished entries in the musical lexicon (though the terms do get thrown around frequently enough). but for ex. sputnik doesn't have them as a subgenre tag but it has melo death as one.
is it in fact more necessary in death metal for this tag to be present? i mean metalcore can already be described and understood as an amlgamation of melo death and hardcore influences so it might be too specefic to define it further, but then what about melodic hardcore? is it still not useful enough of a distinction?
are there more melo death bands then melo hardcore bands?
to address this, melodic death metal is an extremely recognizable, specific extreme metal soundset. melodic metalcore, if you're thinking of the "killswitch engage" sound, is not really an entirely different subgenre, just a twist on an already known genre. when metalcore was established, basically the two most prevalent styles were that, and the more technical style put forth by Botch and others.
melodic death metal has almost as much history to it as death metal itself, whereas this is not really comparable with something like melodic hardcore, which can be roughly categorized as a slight twist on the hardcore genre.
when the gothenburg sound established itself, it became so prevalent that it needed a different label to distinguish bands that played it from your more standard fair osdm bands.

melodeath has been around for 25 years now while the other genres you mentioned are a bit newer I guess. also sput is a bit behind in subgenres anyway
