Which rock music fusion genre is adopted by Christian metal band Embodyment on their fourth album?

Alternative metal bands are often characterized by heavily downtuned, mid-paced guitar riffs, a mixture of accessible melodic vocals and harsh vocals and sometimes unconventional sounds within other heavy metal styles. The term has been in use since the 1980s, although it came into prominence in the 1990s.
Deathgrind Deathgrind (sometimes written as death-grind or death/grind) is a fusion of death metal and grindcore. The genre, along with pornogrind, is related to the goregrind subgenre. This genre could be considered the most extreme and violent. "Zero Tolerance" described deathgrind as "grindcore and brutal death metal colliding head on." Danny Lilker described deathgrind as "combining the technicality of death metal with the intensity of grindcore."
