Let Us Prey Premiere New Single and Video “In Nameless Blood”


Let Us Prey unveils their explosive new single, “In Nameless Blood,” marking the next chapter for the band led by vocalist Marc Lopes (ex-Metal Church, Ross the Boss). Following his high-profile 2025 departure from Metal Church, where he fronted the chart-topping Congregation Of Annihilation, Lopes has returned to his primary creative force.

The band describes its sound as “Cyber Tech Thrash Core,” a collision of modern metal, thrash intensity, industrial programming, and symphonic textures. Precision drumming and crushing down-tuned riffs anchor the music, while Lopes unleashes a staggering vocal range—shifting from guttural growls to soaring, Halford-inspired highs.
