Gravity

Gravity is the eleventh Praying Mantis studio album. King Records' Metal Frontier imprint released the Japanese edition on 9 May 2018 as KICP-1902, and Frontiers followed everywhere else two days later, on the 11th. Eleven songs, about fifty-eight minutes. The fourth is called "39 Years", which is the band counting. The first, "Keep It Alive", became a fixture of the live set in these years and gave the following year's concert album its title. Frontiers' channel posted an official audio for the title track on 8 March 2018 and a music video for "Keep It Alive" on 23 April. The band's own site records the record's chart placings — 23 in the UK, 70 in Switzerland and 6 in Japan — and notes that it was received as one of their finest. The Japanese CD adds "The Last Summer (Laid Bare mix)" as a Japan-only bonus track for twelve songs. Two weeks after the release the band played Frontiers Rock Festival V in Milan, and that night became the live album Keep It Alive!.
