Metal Perspective Interview – Praying Mantis – Interview with Chris Troy

Interviewer: Steven Reid

After a hiatus of six years, Praying Mantis returned in 2009 with the excellent Sanctuary album which contains a stunning mix of hard rock and classy melodies with intelligent and interesting lyrics. Metal Perspective staff writer Steven Reid recently caught up with bassist and founder member Chris Troy to find out what’s been happening with the band both before and after the album.

Hi Chris thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions. Your latest album “Sanctuary” was released last year, I have to say I think it’s a tremendous set of songs. You must be pleased with the reaction to it?

Hello – Dear friends of PRAYING MANTIS,

At the moment I have some very fine exclusive artprints on canvas of my “Sanctuary” artwork available, which had been used by the band for their latest album (which I love )…
The prints are in the sizes 70 x 70 cm or 50 x 50 cm, on Hahnemuehle art canvas, stretched on a wooden frame, ready for hanging…
