5.0 out of 5 stars A great lost treasure rediscovered, June 2, 2008

I remember the New Wave of British Heavy Metal the first time around. I used to visit my local record store/head shop and the owner was this denim and leather clad rocker. I got turned on to all these obscure British bands, Maiden, Saxon, Samson, etc. However, probably the most melodic of the bunch was Praying Mantis. This is simply a GREAT album. The Troy brothers write really tuneful songs, with great harmonies and stellar guitar playing. The production is really nice as well. It's too bad this band never caught on in the States, but if you like music that sounds like Thin Lizzy, early Def Leppard, and maybe even a bit like early Bon Jovi, you'll definately dig Mantis. Key cuts, "Stay Alive in the City" "Lovers to the Grave" and a neat cover of the Kinks "All Day and All of the Night"

5.0 out of 5 stars NWOBHM classic !, December 7, 2000

Praying Mantis is a little-known NWOBHM band, that is still around today. This one's their first album and it's a true classic. Three lead vocalists, brilliant harmonies, typical twin guitar sound, nice lyrics. This is a must-have for all melodic rock fans. Check out their latest albums as well. You're guaranteed not to be disappointed!

I heard this album in the early eighties and my tape got mangled. Looked for years for it. I was so happy to find it on Amazon. Their kind of an April Wine meets Night Ranger sounding band. Awesome guitar work and song writing. A must have to a collection.
