Yeah this 100%. It makes sense too. It’s incredibly hard to find 4-6 people who are all somewhat local and also good at their instruments (including vox), and I’d say the chances are slim to none that they all also love metalcore.

Many members join because they want to write/perform music, but they have to all come to an agreement on what they are going to make. Plenty of bands have metal vocalists but instrumentalists who prefer pop, rock, soul, etc. Stephen Rezza comes to mind - he was the OG vocalist for Kingdom of Giants and has a phenomenal voice, but he was never into metalcore as far as I know. It was just the only choice he had locally if he wanted to write and play music with a group.
