PRAYING MANTIS is one of the godfathers of the NWOBHM movement. Their “Time Tells No Lies” 1981 full-length debut is still considered as one of the most representative pieces of the genre / its more melodic side.
owever, things went significantly wrong for the band in the 80s, mainly due to contractual complications.
PRAYING MANTIS reformed 1990 for the 10th anniversary of NWOBHM tour in Japan and talented guitarist Denis Stratton joined the band. Meanwhile, they recorded this first reunion studio project: the amazing “Predator In Disguise”.
Released 1991 originally only in Japan, “Predator In Disguise” is a killer CD. Fully embracing the melodic hard rock sound from the early Nineties, polish
“Living in the Fear of the Private Eye” is the second album by British AOR/melodic rock group “Export” originally released in 1986, reissued by “Rock Candy” records in 2010.
Much like other melodic outfits hailing form the United Kingdom – namely “Heavy Pettin”, “Lionheart” and “Romeo’s Daughter”-”Export” were signed and addressed to the North American market, essentially complyi
A few weeks ago we featured for the first time on CD the one and only album by RIGGS, their self-titled 1982 record, a very good slice of early Eighties American melodic rock.
Fronted by vocalist / guitarist Jerry Riggs (later Pat Travers Band co-lead guitarist / songwriter for many years) RIGGS recorded 2 songs for the iconic 1981 animated feature film Heavy Metal, also included on the movie’s soundtrack release. That lead for the band to secure a record deal with their album released next year.
But previously RIGGS was being co

Considered one of the greatest first half of the Eighties AOR albums, ORION THE HUNTER self-titled album received the Rock Candy Records superb 24-bit remastering from original source tapes, something this classic largely deserved.
Boston debut album album is not only regarded as one of the finest rock albums of all time but it is also one of the biggest sellers. Its influence was all pervasive and set the standards for years to come. Behind the scenes, however, things were not going as smoothly as they seemed. Indeed, by the turn of the Seventies the band had all but imploded, with guitarist Barry Goudreau being the first to head off for pastur

One of the much criminally forgotten gems of the ’80s relegated (for years) to be released on CD was without a doubt RIGGS, the band founded by guitarist / vocalist Jerry Riggs. Fortunately, not so long ago the highly respected label Wounded Bird Records released for the first time on CD the band’s self-titled album “Riggs“, a must have in your ’80s Rock collection.
