Praying Mantis, a band that emerged during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement, faced numerous setbacks and bad decisions that prevented them from achieving the same level of success as their contemporaries, Iron Maiden. The band, known for their melodic and tune-conscious style, struggled with management issues and signed with a record label that lacked experience in marketing hard rock bands. Despite their talent and potential, Praying Mantis failed to capitalize on their opportunities and eventually disbanded. However, they have recently made a comeback and released a new album, Defiance. [Extracted from the article] |
