Officer Andrew Ricks, a fan of Rhode Island death metal outfit Vital Remains, took the stage as the band played in Sanford, Florida. He joined them as they sang “Let the Killing Begin” while he was in uniform.
His performance at the concert, which took place in October, was filmed and posted to YouTube.
