On 12th April 2009 Praying Mantis shot a promo video for new track “The Lonely Way Home”. This track was originally announce as “Turn The Tide” and is from the new album “Sanctuary”.

The video was shot at MusicTek in London.

You can see photos from the shoot here.

Richie Day is the keyboard player on the video. It is hoped he will be playing with the band on future live dates.

In January this year Pony Canyon reissued most of the Praying Mantis catalogue on Hi-Quality-CD

According to http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/popular_formats/HQCD/index.html “HQCD (HiQualityCD) format achieves high quality audio through the use of a polycarbonate plastic with improved transparency derived from LCD display manufacturing technologies enabling more accurate reading of the CD data. In addition, a special alloy is used as the material of the reflective layer instead of the standard aluminum. HQCD format CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players.”
