Rock Interviews: Praying Mantis
Praying Mantis.
Praying Mantis has had a bit of a chequered past to say the least but bassist and founder member Chris Troy spilled the beans to Paul Anthony.
The band, formed by Tino and Chris Troy, were lumped in with the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' in the late 1970s, though Praying Mantis were more melodic than the other bands in that category.
Chris said: "I think we were more or less chucked into that because I don't think another category existed but we certainly had no objections."
The band's new album SANCTUARY is released on Frontiers Records on 8th June
Chris talked about line-up changes and, Praying Mantis through the ages with Paul.
