Also Similar Artists bar is so very wrong as usual recommending more traditional heavy metal bands rather than bands like Heavy Pettin', Darxon, Mad Max, Stranger (GER), Baby Tuckoo, B.E. Taylor Group, Statetrooper, Banshee, Satrox, Glasgow etc that have more commercial radio-friendly sound which is closer to Praying Mantis.

I find that looking at the last few pages of recommendations (like in the 20s, if last.fm generates that many pages) brings more interesting recommendations. Dunno what their algorithm is but I will assume it's based on how many people scrobble both bands, combined with how many last.fm scrobbles the band has. Versus being based on niche genre tagging. Also Silver Mountain - Universe would be a good rec for PM fans who don't know many other heavy AOR albums.

Love their AORish sounding of songs from Predator In Disguise and A Cry For The New World more than older canonical stuff lul

It is hard to comprehend how metal-archives got that big. yeah, it´s a detailed and comprehensive encyclopedia, but the administration is horrible and elitist. Ironically, I don´t like Mantis´ latest releases because they aren´t "metal" enough for me. I just don´t like their let me call it mainstream approach and think that their sound is too keyboard-driven. Nevertheless, they deserve a greater reputation, they have done great albums.

They even have tons of metalcore and deathcore bands, despite the fact they supposedly don't allow "mallcore".

That band was deleted from metal-archives.com and dark-world.ru... Total facepalm.

This band really surprised me. Having only heard Children of the Earth before, I gave a listen to the whole Time Tells No lies, expecting an album full of typical melodic nwobhm. Instead, I got an recordful of feel-good aor! And you know, it wasn't even that traumatizing! ^-^

Praying Mantis в Merton Manor Club 7 января Отличительная черта этой хэви-металл-группы – необычайная мелодичность ее песен. Временем ее зарождения можно с уверенностью считать 1974 год, когда Тино Трой и Пит Мур объединились под вывеской Junction. http://pulse-uk.org.uk/concerts/praying-mantis-v-merton-manor-club/
