| This is the only Praying Mantis album I own since I've only recently
discovered the band. But "Nowhere to Hide" certainly made an impact with
it's beautiful melodic vocals and enchanting guitar & bass harmonies.
It's a combination of Europe, Queen and The Scorpians only with more
thoughful lyrics and sincerity in tone. I normally indugle in more dark metal
bands such as Korn or Blaze but I'm not ashamed to admit a fondness to the
softer and elegantly formed Mantis tunes. Especailly Stratton moving piece
"Whenever I'm Lost".
I have great admiration for Mantis, they don't try to shock or show off. They
skillfully play well crafted tunes and don't attempt to be anything else than
un-pretenious great muscians whose music is a delight to the ear. The album is a
little jewel of joy amoungst my moody album collection and a great source for
maintaining sanity.
I've played this album to hard & soft rock fans and both where impressed.
Nowhere To Hide is an album I'd recommend to anyone who has ears. I wish they
got greater recognition in Britian or I'd certainly have has many more of their
album by now.
