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:

Shai Hulud

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.
