Good melodic hardcore/metalcore bands?

I am kind of picky in my taste in music, and right now I am really digging hardcore and metalcore. I like melodic choruses and killer breakdowns, and am looking to expand my music library a bit, so if anyone could mention some good hardcore or metalcore bands that would be great.

I like and am currently listening to:

Alexisonfire

All That Remains

As I Lay Dying

Atreyu (Mostly old stuff, but a couple off of LSPA)

August Burns Red

OLD Avenged Sevenfold (Waking the Fallen & Sounding the Seventh Trumpet)

OLD Bullet For My Valentine (Before the lead singer went Hetfeild)

A Day To Remember

OLD Destroy the Runner

A Dozen Furies

Enter Shikari

OLD Every Time I Die

Haste the Day

OLD He Is Legend

The Human Abstract

It Dies Today

Killswitch.

Parkway Drive

Protest the Hero

Still Remains

Story of the Year

OLD Trivium

36 Crazyfists

I DO NOT like:

Between the Buried and Me

Death Metal, Symphonic metal, and folk metal

Bands that sound like Five Finger Death Punch

Thanks,

Conor

Update:

EDIT: Am checking out bands right now, am really sold on caliban, thanks for all the answers and keep them coming.

    ahh yes i used to be a fan of trivium, until their music started sucking >.<

    Anywayz DO check out the bands i gave ya

    Even though you don't like death metal, just letting you know All Shall Perish isn't death metal (thought you might not listen to them because of their name) -just check them out, back when i started listenin to AILD my friend told me about All Shall Perish and i got hooked.

    Im also VERY picky when it comes to music

    Since i'm so picky i usually go to Youtube and type in best metal breakdowns, and listen to some of the BEST breakdowns of all time, then go download the songs. You'd be suprised how many 10 minute videos are dedicated to Pure metal breakdowns. You Should Try it. Here are some links

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNnlfvtWRKw

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW4kyiHJ0rs

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kA-9AxARjg

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUtHW32-nBo&feature...

    And yeah you get the point

    just forward the vids to see more breakdowns

    I liked answering this question ^_^

    took me like 20 minutes xD

    anywayz go get some music!!!!

    Well I don't really have any metalcore, but I do listen to some melodic hardcore.

    Try:

    -OLD Rise Against (The Unraveling, Revolutions Per Minute)

    -The Killing Tree (especially the song "Dressed to F*ck)

    -No Trigger

    -Strike Anywhere

    -The Suicide Machines (though they tend to either be punk rock or hardcore more then melodic hardcore)

    More in the vein of straight hardcore, you might want to check out Ruiner, The Unseen, and Refused.
