Led by vocalist Marc Lopes – best known as the front man of Manowar co-founder Ross Friedman's Ross The Boss – and guitarist Jon Morency, the dark melodic power/thrash group LET US PREY incorporates numerous subgenres of metal into their style while still sounding organic. The group's adventurous music sees elements of thrash, death, power and progressive metal meld seamlessly with industrial samples and symphonic keyboards. The drumming is surgically precise and blisteringly fast without sounding mechanical; the guitars mix crushing, down-tuned brutality with dense harmonies and ripping leads; and Lopes shifts effortlessly from thrash/death metal growls to soaring melodic vocals and searing Halford-esque highs with layered harmonies. “Virtues Of The Vicious” – the follow-up to LET US PREY's acclaimed 2016 EP, “The Saint of Killers” – was recorded by Pete Rutcho (Revocation, Havok, Parkway Drive) and Nick Bellmore (Hatebreed, Toxic Holocaust, Five Finger Death Punch). The album features guest appearances by a number of notable guitarists, including Jon Donais (Anthrax, Shadows Fall), Jimi Bell (House of Lords, Autograph), Metal Mike Chlasciak (Halford, Testament) and the late Oli Herbert (All That Remains). LET US PREY have previously performed in United States alongside the likes of Soilwork, Suffocation, Soulfly, Life Of Agony, Metal Church, Battle Beast, Doro and Scar Symmetry, among others. In addition, Lopes continues to perform on some of metal's biggest stages around the world while fronting Ross The Boss.
