Is this groove metal?

Sounds kinda progressive or avant garde to me. Maybe a little stoner rock mixed in. Groove metal is heavier, screaming vocals, and fast. Pantera or Lamb of God are groove metal.

Nope- not groove

Groove metal usually has a very specific feel heavier riffs, mid-tempo chug, aggressive, often with shouted or screamed vocals, like Pantera or Lamb of God. The track people are talking about seems more progressive or avant-garde, maybe with some stoner rock elements, so it leans toward experimentation rather than the tight, driving rhythm that defines groove metal. It’s more about creative textures than pure groove.
