I recently joined a metal band as a bass player as they have already got 2 guitarists but they never seem to play in a particular key which means sometimes it sounds good but it can also sound really bad and they sometimes have problems with deciding what chords or bass should be played. they do a lot of riffs like this.

sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. I dont know whether to tell them that they should try playing in key or just go along with the flow. it would make my bass playing easier if it was in key. i think a lot of newer metal bands play like this though. can someone give me some advice please
