style

John Wayne play a mix of hardcore punk and death metal , what is known in the music scene as deathcore . The music is comparable to The Devil Wears Prada , As I Lay Dying and The Black Dahlia Murder . The lyrics are all in Portuguese. The band name is based on the American serial killer John Wayne Gacy .

The group's texts are intended to encourage the listener to reflect on various current issues, life, everyday life and their own actions. In addition, the group takes up the question of the existence and the consequences of various actions. In an interview in October 2013, singer Fabio Figueiredo stated that he did not want to convey Christian values with his songs . Nevertheless, he hopes that the texts will generate a positive message for the listener.
