About Praying Mantis/Metalmorphosis
2009 saw the band release “Sanctuary” and the reviews and feedback have been fantastic. As a follow up and a celebration of 30 years of having the opportunity to perform, write and record the band have recorded “Metalmorphosis“.
“Metalmorphosis” will be available via praying mantis’s website, shop.rockngrowl.com as a special limited edition in a embossed digipack.
The EP will also be available at the live shows throughout 2011.
Praying Mantis are a well established band of melodic hard rockers. They were formed by brothers Tino and Chris Troy in the mid-1970′s and they became one of the bands associated with the the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal). Their first album “Time Tells No Lies” received a lot of critical acclaim. Unfortunately there was then some managerial problems and a couple of name changes before the band reformed in 1990 with Dennis Stratton (ex-Iron Maiden) for a NWOBHM festival in Japan. Since then they have released new albums every 2 or 3 years and are gaining new fans around the world all the time.
