    Some of these NWOBHM bands/songs just exist at this crazy nexus of different styles/genres. This song is just so peculiar and unique, I love it.

    If ever a Nwobhm deserved success it was Praying Mantis. This is good but love their debut lp 'Time tells no lies' the most, if i had a dollar for every time ive played that masterpiece in the last 35 years!

    I can't really decide which version I like better - this raw one or the cleaner one from Metal 4 Muthas compilation. One thing is for sure - Captured City is one of the best NWOBHM songs. Thanks for posting this whole single, man.

      I always listen to both equally, they both have their own characteristics and I love them. I love how quiet this one gets in the build up at 3:52 and I love the distortion on the metal for muthas one.

      From wikipedia I see "In 1979, Campbell formed the heavy metal band, Persian Risk, playing on their 7" singles, "Calling For You" (1981) and "Ridin' High" (1983)." so at what time did he auditioned for Praying Mantis? At 1979?

    If You see me looking
    If you see my eyes
    If you visions of a city
    Is capture in the skies
    Makes you strong and weary
    Sounds but a cry
    Monumental prisión cells
    Searching through the skies
    Captured city!
    City in the skies!
    Captured city!
    City in the skies!
    Torment is their pleasure
    Creeping up at you
    Such a zero life of hell
    Exept those very few
    Looking to their life with you
    Looking to solve the war
    Find the golden key
    To open up the door
    Captured city!
    City in the skies!
    Captured city!
    City in the skies!
    Solo de guitarra.
    Questions they can't answer
    Even whath you see
    Minus this real cliché
    Show for you and me
    Dawn lights another day
    And day tills muy eyes
    Visions of a city
    Is captured in the skies
    Captured city!
    City in the skies!
    Captured city!
    City in the skies!

    first saw this in a secondhand record shop in 1980 and bought the 12" EP - was on clear vinyl I think ?- sounds like that, maybe was the original recording and Muthas was remixed/rerecorded
    Lost all my vinyl after being hospitalised due to motorbike accident in 1986 and this and Freebird (Skynyrd) clear vinyl were my biggest losses!

      I was around 'back in the day' listening to rock music. When the NWOBHM first started two bands were really tipped to reach the top. They were Iron Maiden and Praying Mantis.

    • @Slamazzar
      @Slamazzar 2 роки тому +5

      Bad contract, bad management, waiting to long to release the album, waiting to long to get a lead singer, as Tino admits today... I don't actually agree with the last point (although this was a condition under which one good manager would agree to take care of the band): Bernie Shaw is a monster, but Troys' and Steve's vocals didn't lack anything either. Wishbone Ash also never had a lead singer (maybe apart from Tony Kishman in 1996) and they still became huge.
      More astonishing is for me why Praying Mantis didn't became huge in the 90's, especially with Tony O'Hora, or even more in 2003, when they released their opus magnum, the masterpiece called "The Journey Goes On". Oh, I know: between 2001 and 2005 they didn't give a single concert...
