Band: Praying Mantis
Home Page:
Location:
Status:
Praying Mantis had a highly melodic sound for their time that made them come across as somewhat poppier than the rest of the NWOBHM crowd, mostly due to killer three-part vocal harmonies! They disappeared pretty soon after their debut album but reformed at the end of the 80s. Their albums since then remain unheard by these ears. Several former members of Iron Maiden have been in this band at some point.
