Demorabilia - Praying Mantis

This is a double CD of unreleased songs that the Troy brothers had. It also includes demos of not only Praying Mantis but also Escape (Stratus). A band the Troys started with ex-Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr and ex-Grand Prix vocalist Bernie Shaw. You can't expect much of the sound production as these are demos. This album is not just worth it for the demos but also for the packaging which contains rare photos etc. This album will be a treasure for Praying Mantis fans. Eventually The Horn on Disc 1 and Battle Royal on Disc 2 saw the light of day on "Predator In Disguise" which was Praying Mantis's first studio album after their 1990 NWOBHM reunion. As you can guess "Time Slipping Away" on Disc 2 is the original of "Time Slipping Away"
