Prey For Sunday is the brainchild of Sacramento born-turned-LA native- Lead guitarist/songwriter, Neal Grusky.  Neal’s writing shaped the band's identity of modern metal and his passion is to create new ways to interpret sound, serving fresh organic and original metal melodies, and songs that capture the listener's ear and mind, all meant to send listeners on a journey through his musical creativity, and guitar playing.
Tony Persico, Prey For Sunday's lyrical foundation; captures in his songwriting the raw emotions he experienced through his own dark, deep struggles as a human finding his way in a turbulent world.

He eloquently describes his message to his listeners and all people who are struggling. 

“Neal is an awesome songwriter and musician, not to mention a long time loyal close friend. I wish his new project a great success,” says Bjorn Englen bassist for Foundry, Soul Sign, and Dio Disciples.
