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.
