Praying Mantis are a well established band of melodic hard rockers. They were formed by brothers Tino and Chris Troy in the mid 70′s and together with ‘Iron Maiden’, they spearheaded the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) movement.
Their first album ‘Time Tells No Lies’ received much critical acclaim. After various projects including ‘Stratus’ featuring Clive Burr (ex Maiden) & Bernie Shaw (now with Uriah Heep) Praying Mantis reformed in 1990 (for the 10th anniversary of NWOBHM) with Paul Di Anno & Dennis Stratton. They recorded ‘Live at Last’ which sparked a re-birth and followed up with a further 11 albums.





Metalzone: Hello and welcome to Metalzone. You have a new album entitled “Sanctuary”, so tell us a few things about it. Is there any kind of concept behind the title?
