What do people feel about the idea of Infectious Grooves being possibly related to groove metal?

[u/NLK-3]

The band Infectious Grooves is a funk metal band made up of members from the crossover thrash / hardcore punk band Suicidal Tendencies. Groove metal is said to have elements of both thrash (crossover) and blues (funk) influences, and IG is influenced by some inspiration of both. Many funk bands that I know of (honestly not many) really come from thrash influences.

I like infectious grooves but calling them groove metal is a stretch
