Praying Mantis are a well established band of melodic hard rockers. They were formed by brothers Tino Troy and Chris Troy in the United Kingdom 1974 and they became one of the bands associated with the the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal). Their first album 1981’s “Time Tells No Lies” received a lot of critical acclaim.
England’s Praying Mantis was one of the more melodic bands to emerge from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene. They combined a Thin Lizzy-style twin guitar approach with Def Leppard-like vocal harmonies, resulting in a sound not unlike later-day Rainbow. their debut album, Time Tells No Lies , released in 1981, then came “Throwing Shapes” (1984), “Predator in Disguise” (1991) or “Forever in Time” (1998) among many others, but it was from 2013 onwards that the lineup stabilized to this day, with great albums like “Legacy” (2015), or their latest album to date “Defiance” (2024).
During 2026-27, the band will celebrate the 45th anniversary of “Time Tells No Lies” with shows performing their acclaimed debut album in its entirety. On November 14th, they stop in Kortrijk.

Special guest on the tour will be high-flying, Power Rock quintet The Riven, hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, who draw their musical influences from a wide array of Rock and Hard Rock genres. Combining lyrical themes from everyday life to fantasy-inspired, with a late 70’s and early 80’s hard rock sound, the group has forged their own path and done things their way.
The group recently released their third studio album, “Visions of Tomorrow,” vía Dying Victims Records, and are ready to release it live in 2025 and 2026.
