Recorded live at Frontiers Rock Festival V in Milan, Italy on April 28, 2018, this brand new live release shows PRAYING MANTIS offering the crowd a setlist of new songs and several classic tracks, including selected cuts from the now legendary debut album, “Time Tells No Lies". An awesome release, showcasing the repertoire of one of the most consistent British hard rock bands around.
Originally formed in 1973 by the Troy brothers, Tino and Chris, Praying Mantis became one of the most influential bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM). The band is also one of a very small number of bands from that era to have remained an ongoing concern over the intervening years, and to still record and appear live regularly. The debut Praying Mantis album, “Time Tells No Lies” (Arista) was released in 1981 to critical acclaim, and it remains a significant milestone in the history of NWOBHM. Following a short-lived reformation of most of the original line-up of Praying Mantis in 1987, the band went back on hiatus until offered the chance to play in Japan with ex-Iron Maiden members Paul Di’Anno and Dennis Stratton in 1990. This experience injected new life into the band, and also marked the beginning of a productive 15 year partnership with Dennis Stratton. The band’s second official studio album, “Predator in Disguise” was released in 1991, and the band have continued to write and release new material every two to three years ever since, with a shifting line-up which has featured the likes of Doogie White, Gary Barden, Bernie Shaw, Bruce Bisland, Mike Freeland, Gary Mackenzie, and many other figures from the cream of Britain’s rock fraternity. Following another major change in line-up (including the departure of Dennis Stratton), Praying Mantis signed with Frontiers in 2007 and recorded the album “Sanctuary”, which was released in 2009. The album, considered to be one of the finest of their career, has received consistently positive reviews, as have the follow-ups, "Legacy" and "Gravity".
Whether gigging in support of their latest releases, writing new material, or re-visiting other songs from their extensive back-catalogue, the Troy brothers, along with guitarist Andy Burgess and newest recruits, John 'Jaycee' Cuijpers on vocals and Hans In T' Zandt on drums and vocals, remain committed to the blend of melody and power in their music that has become a trademark of the Praying Mantis sound, and, some three decades after forming, the band is still completely dedicated to entertaining a seemingly ever-growing army of fans across the globe.

Still one of my favourite 80's albums ❤
although they never get the acclaim they deserve, Mantis never seem to let it down, and they only care about being happy making their wonderful sound and making their loyal fans happy, which is why I admire this amazing band so much Praying Mantis forever 🤟🤟
how can you be there listening to this legendary song by this legendary band and not headbanging your head off, those people in the crowd don't deserve to be there smh
Classic ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Praying Mantis has always had great vocalists, but John is amazing how this man sings !! And the band is still in tune, it should be more recognized than it is.

Too many NWOBHM bands got overlooked. These guys are one of them.
Lvoe their melodies.
Great, wonderful band.
Most underrated band of the metal
apesar de nunca receberem a aclamação que devem, os Mantis nunca parecem se desanimar com isso, e eles só importam em ser felizes fazendo seu maravilhoso som e deixar seus fiéis fãs felizes, essa razão que me faz admirar tanto essa banda tão incrível Praying Mantis forever 🤟🤟
I was there. Wonderful show.

Where ?
They look like they’re really enjoying themselves.
Praying Mantis a perfect rock band. I was the first Rock DJ in Brazil that premiered the Praying Mantis albums to the Brazilian audience before the official media (radio, TV, internet) at my rock nightclub in the city of São Paulo. That was back in the early 80s. Even today songs like Panic in The Street are successful here, without ever playing the radio. Thanks to our work of publicizing good rock bands firsthand (with exclusivity) just like with Iron Maiden albums, Aerosmith, Queen, Foghat, Ted Nugent, Van Halen, Budgie, Rush, Montrose, Sammy Hagar, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, UFO, Scorpions, Tygers of Pan Tang, among hundreds of other bands. We were the first to play the records of these bands in Brazil. Wilson Alexandre_14 on facebook and group Fofinho Rock Club - Fundadores & Galera
The most fantastic NWOBHM band.
Came to the party very late, but wanted to thank you for your beautiful melodies, harmony and kick ass rock sound. Not to mention your album covers! Cheers guys, great stuff.
Great song and great Show, you're rock it at the best. Many regards, I hope we meet us again next.

I bought their first album the day after I heard this song introduced by Tommy Vance on the Friday rock show!! It is a shame I never got to see them live!!
Jaycee is amazing and Hans T Zandt is unbelievable drummer this band lasted the test of time

But the keys can be heard, isn't it strange? I hope they're played in the back rather than playbacked. Forever in Time is a treasure, just as great as Nowhere to Hide and A Cry for the New World, almost as great as the unbeatable masterpiece: The Journey Goes On!
Crowd going bezerk!!
Looking forward to seeing them again at Troon's Winter Storm Saturday 30th November.
Banda FODA d+
For we are children of the earth Orphans of the universe Children of the earth But now our mother is dead
I work with the bassist's wife! She gave me some praying mantis merch for free!

It looks like a Paul Reed Smith but I think it may actually be a Schecter. Didn't get a close enough look at the headstock but I think that that's what it said.
