Melodeath that might have inspired Parkway Drive's sound?

Full disclosure: I know of a record that makes me think "PWD definitely took queues from this" but I am both too lazy to trawl my playlists and am also curious to see what suggestions I get, in order to broaden my horizons.

Whilst some may say PWD are just another 5-7-8 metalcore band, I disagree and would say their riffs are characterised often by a faster tempo triplet rhythm on their pedal riffs that ends up reminiscent of 6/8. There's also some piratey sauce in there that I can't put my finger on.

edit; found the band I was thinking of; LEUKEMIA

Just out of sheer curiosity, can anyone describe different eras of dinky neck profiles relative to what I know?

I have a 2000 PS-4 and a 2013 DK2QMHT. The former has what I assume is a standard Japanese dinky neck from the 90s and the latter a "speed neck". I much prefer the PS-4's neck as it is slightly flatter and d-shaped with shoulders as opposed to the more c-profiled speed neck.

How do these profiles compare against American dinkys over time? Custom shop jobs? JS series etc?

My other points of comparison when it comes to shreddy necks are an 86 Charvel Model 4 (favourite shred neck so far), an original wizard on a 93 RG470 (amazing feel, bit too thin for me), wizard 2 on an RG465M (horrible neck), I have also played a friend's LTD MH250
