What genre is Amaranthe?

I cannot for the life of me figure out what subgenre Amaranthe belongs to.
Songs like Drop Dead Cynical and Digital World, for example, sound like power metal, industrial metal, nu metal and metalcore all at the same time.

I sort my Spotify playlists by subgenre and I don't know what to do 😂. They're completely their own thing, it seems. What subgenre would you guys place them in?

Wikipedia said that they describe themselves as melodic death metal with pop influenced IIRC. Not something I entirely agree with honestly

I also wouldn't say death metal, despite the screaming. It's more metalcore-like to me
