PRAYING MANTIS provided a bastion of AOR sensibilities amidst the NWoBHM Heavy Metal thunder. First formed by the Troy brothers whilst still at college in 1974 with guitarist Peter Moore and drummer Chris Hudson, the line-up remained stable until 1978 when new drummer Mick Ransome, previously with BASTILLE, and guitarist Bob 'Angelo' Sawyer joined.
