It has been way too long since NWOBHM-turned-melodic rock band Praying Mantis delivered some new music. It’s been four years since their Metamorphosis release, and that was just an EP of re-recordings. Their last proper studio album – the excellent Sanctuary – was released back in 2009. After yet another round of lineup changes, Praying Mantis is back with a new album, titled Legacy. Legacy is either their ninth or tenth studio release, depending on how you classify the Stratus album, and is the first to feature drummer Hans in’t Zandt and vocalist John “Jaycee” Cujipers. It also marks the return of cover artist Rodney Matthews, whose art graced the earliest Praying Mantis classics.
