Do you know if any of the tracks are done by the band?
Quite a lot, actually! His band is called THE PRIMALS, and in the game they have: Garuda, Ifrit and Titan in UWU, the three phases of TEA (Locus, Brute Justice and Rise), the Shadowbringers miniboss theme and Ruby Weapon phase 1, maybe other things I'm forgetting. Most of the songs in a more traditional metal style are done by them.

They are experimenting for sure but I just prefer the more classical remixes myself.
I really don't think there's any more rock outside of the battle theme and quest theme than there was in previous expansions. Just look at what 5.2 added, for example. Ruby Weapon phase 1 was rock, but we got swing jazz in the new dungeon, dubstep, eurobeat (?) and whatever genre Shiva's theme was in Eden, and a tribal theme from the Qitari beast tribe. From a raw numbers perspective this just isn't true - the musical variety is stronger than ever!
