│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Praying Mantis at this stage of their career had ║ │
│║ caught a second wind, and were riding on the ║ │
│║ huge wave of popularity coming out of Japan. ║ │
│║ Still with the basis of the band intact, apart ║ │
│║ from new singer Colin Peel, who when added to ║ │
│║ the mix, really does have a great voice suited ║ │
│║ to MantisÆ style of melodic rock. The twin ║ │
│║ guitar work of Messrs Stratton and Troy are a ║ │
│║ force to be reckoned with in the rock scene, and ║ │
│║ on this opus æA Cry For The New WorldÆ we are ║ │
│║ not exactly breaking new ground, but the ║ │
│║ commitment and class carries it off. Punctuated ║ │
│║ by subtle keyboard pieces in the background, the ║ │
│║ predominant guitar attack never lets up. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The calibre of songs are lifted a notch too, ║ │
│║ with the title track æA Cry For The New WorldÆ, ║ │
│║ the rampant æLetting GoÆ, the grinding guitar of ║ │
│║ æOne ChanceÆ and æFight To Be FreeÆ all ║ │
│║ competing with each other for attention. ║ │
│║ Keyboard parps and guitar interplay comes to the ║ │
│║ fore on æRise Up AgainÆ, an anthemic slice of ║ │
│║ rock if ever there was one. æOpen Your HeartÆ is ║ │
│║ not too far behind on the keyboard front, though ║ │
│║ the track is less dynamic. æDream OnÆ is a ║ │
│║ slower piece, with orchestral leanings and super ║ │
│║ melodic choruses. æJourneymanÆ is a longer ║ │
│║ workout and gradually builds to a climax towards ║ │
│║ the albums final track æThe Final EclipseÆ, a ║ │
│║ dreamy atmospheric close out. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There are not too many people without a Praying ║ │
│║ Mantis album somewhere in their collection. You ║ │
│║ are guaranteed to get value for money, and if ║ │
│║ the Japanese music buying public are anything to ║ │
│║ go by, then we in the West are way behind the ║ │
│║ eight-ball. Start searching out some of their ║ │
│║ albums now!! ║ │
