M.D.: First of all, congratulations for your new album

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.

PRAYING MANTIS – Tino Troy
Posted by Elena Mihailidou at 15/06/2009, 5:46 pm

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?
Tino Troy:
It happens to be the title track of the album and the song depicts freedom from something, that’s why the amazing cover art features a sad looking ‘Statue of Liberty’ She also needs her own Liberty, hence the decaying face. The full explanation of the song itself is the story of bunch of young kids based in Wales who got involved in this internet pact whereby for some reason unknown, they all ended up taking their own lives…… very sad dark dtuff but it wouldn’t be a Mantis song if it were a happy one… Ha-ha!

Mike Freeland Interview – 23 June 2007

While in Germany for the Bang Your Head
festival Mike Freeland
(MF) took time to explain
to Jon Hinchliffe (JH) how he came to be the new vocalist
for Praying Mantis.

JH – Can you run me through the bands you
have played with prior to “Praying Mantis”?

MF – Yes sure. At one point I was in a band
called “More” and that curiously is a big part of why I am now in Praying
Mantis.

JH – Shall we start at the very beginning?
Have you always wanted to sing?
