Post Description

Praying Mantis first appeared on the legendary Metal For Muthas compilation in 1980, and their song, "Captured City" was possibly the best song on that album. Their style was more melodic than most NWOBHM bands, owing to their harmonized vocals. By 1981 they had released their debut album, Time Tells No Lies, but despite good reviews, the band seemed to vanish soon afterward. In reality they had mutated, first hooking up with Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr and going by the name of Clive Burr's Escape, and later (circa 1984) as Stratus. Finally, in 1990, the Troy brothers played a live set in Tokyo with two other former Iron Maiden members in tow, these being guitarist Dennis Stratton and vocalist Paul Di'Anno. The concert is released as a new Praying Mantis album, and the band is back in action, with Stratton staying on as permanent guitarist. The band continues on, with several lineup changes surrounding the core of Stratton and the two Troys.
