by Ed RivadaviaPraying Mantis' 1981 debut Time Tells No Lies is a minor New Wave of British Heavy Metal classic. The album showcases the band's effective use of harmony vocals and guitars, as well as their knack for catchy hooks and choruses. Nowhere is this more successful than on lead-off single Cheated, featuring a fantastic dual guitar harmony straight out of the Thin Lizzy handbook. Running for Tomorrow packs a Joe Lynn Turner-era Rainbow flavor while Panic in the Streets shows the band at their roughest NWOBHM moment. The 1996 re-issue adds a b-side (Thirty Pieces of Silver) and two live tracks, making it even more collectible.
