Australian metalcore with an explicit nu-metal streak — the riff is built on bounce and space rather than density, with long gaps where only bass and drums carry. That makes the gate setting the single most important control: the silence between hits is part of the riff. Very low tuning with the low end pushed hard, but the mids need to stay present or the chugs disappear in a mix.
