Would it be
"progressive metalcore?" Maybe not. There's also crossover thrash,
grindcore, andd epending on how you look at it, trancecore. I've been
trying to think of a term for I sometimes look for progressive
punk+metal. But "punk metal" sounds weird enough, "prog punk metal?"
Yikes.
You're probably wondering why this
matters. I'm throwing together a list of progressive punk + metal, but
I'm wondering if there's a better term for it.
"Progcore" is a MAYBE. But that could just be used for progressive hardcore punk, no metal needed.
EDIT: This is NOT for debating whether or not certain metal genres are punk. That is a different discussion for a different thread, and those diverging into that topic will be reminded.

This is the first band I thought of when you mentioned this:
I remember when I first heard them, and being blown away by the variety of stuff they were playing. I found a bit hard to listen to, but it was impressive nonetheless.
Mathcore is probably closest to what you're looking for here I'd think.
Dillinger Escape Plan
And a couple of others:
The Locust
See You Next Tuesday
This the sort of stuff you thinking about?
