PRAYING MANTIS – Captured Alive In Tokyo City [Japanese rare 2-CD Limited Edition] HQ *Exclusive*

Now we have more PRAYING MANTIS, this time with the impressive “Captured Alive In Tokyo City” in its rare 2-CD limited edition. The recording was captured at Club Citta Kawasaki, Japan, on November 11th & 12th, 1995.
The personnel featured of course PRAYING MANTIS founding members Chris & Tino Troy, and ex Iron Maiden Dennis Stratton on guitar / Clive Burr on drums, and the mighty Gary Barden on vocals. This line-up simply rocks!
The album originally was released in Japan only, in a single disc featuring selections from both shows, and this Limited Edition on 2-CD featuring the complete 20-song setlist!
“Captured Alive In Tokyo City” was later released in UK and reissued in Japan, but unfortunately the single disc version – this is the only 2-CD release available, with used copies being sold for over $ 400.

This is awesome classic melodic metal with great songs and some terrific performances from all involved. In a particular good form we find Gary Barden, whose rough voice and unique style contrast beautifully with the clean and well sung backing vocals provided by Stratton and the Troy’s.
