VIRTUES OF THE VICIOUS

Led by vocalist Marc Lopes - best known as the front man of Manowar co-founder Ross Friedman's group, 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.
