Praying Mantis--Nowhere to Hide

Praying Mantis--Nowhere to Hide (2000/Frontiers) Rating--6.0

On the Frontiers label, Praying Mantis first surfaced back in the late '70s, and has since gone through various lineup and name changes-- and has at different times included several members of Iron Maiden, believe it or not.
The band now specializes in vocal melodies and light hard rock. Early Ten is brought to mind, as well as some of the vocal work of Jon Bon Jovi.
"Future of the World" is a heavier cut with a rolling chorus, and both "Can't Stop the World" and "Naked" are good.
"Cruel Winter" has a strong chorus, and "S.O.S." makes its mark at album's end.
TRACK LIST: Nowhere to Hide/Cruel Winter/The Clocktower/Can't Stop the Fire/Future of the World/Whenever I'm Lost/You'll Never Know/River of Hope/Naked/S.O.S.
