The mantises or Mantodea are an order of insects that contains over 2,400 species and about 430 genera in 15 families, by far the largest family being the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all have fore legs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with fore arms folded, has led to the name praying mantises.
They are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species actively pursue their prey. They normally live for about a year; in cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn, and die. The eggs overwinter, protected by their hard capsule, and hatch in the spring. Females sometimes practice sexual cannibalism, eating their mates after copulation, or occasionally decapitating the males just before or during mating.
Their formation considerably pre-dated the NWOBHM movement. They were formed in 1974 by the Troy brothers, Tino and Chris, both college students. Like several NWOBHM bands they made their first available recording at Neal Kay's Soundhouse recording studio, which was released as the Soundhouse TapesEP in 1979.
1980 saw their profile considerably raised with support slots for Iron Maiden and Ronnie Montrose's Gamma and "Captured City" was included on the Metal for Muthas compilation. The attention won them a recording contract with Arista Records and they released their best-known work Time Tells No Lies in 1981. Management and line-up instability undermined their success and Arista dropped them. The following year they signed for Jet Records, but two subsequent singles flopped and the band folded. They had recorded a version of the Russ Ballard penned track "I Surrender", but ran into conflict with Rainbow, who went on to release their version, and had a Top 10 worldwide hit. Instead, Praying Mantis recorded another single, "Cheated". It reached No.69 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1981.

Day6 (Hangul:데이식스, stylized DAY6) is a South Koreanrock band formed by JYP Entertainment. The group consists of six members: Sungjin, Jae, Young K, Junhyeok, Wonpil, and Dowoon. The group debuted with a mini album, The Day, on September 7, 2015.
History
Pre-debut: K-pop Star, 5LIVE
In 2010, Young K was active under the name Brian Kang as part of a three-member group in Toronto, Canada. Along with members Terry He and Don Lee, he performed at several local stages and has several covers up on Terry He's channel. Along with Don Lee, Young K was contacted by JYP and then auditioned, and then accepted to be trainees. Don Lee later left JYP to pursue medical studies.
In 2012, Jae competed on the first season of SBSK-pop Star. Though he finished in sixth place in the competition overall, he later signed an exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment alongside the season's winner, Park Ji-min, and third-place finisher, Baek A-yeon.
JYP Entertainment initially announced the group as a five-member group called 5LIVE, composed of Sungjin, Jae, Young K, Junhyeok, and Wonpil. The group began promotions as 5LIVE in 2014, appearing on the 4th episode of Mnet's reality-survival program Who is Next: WIN and releasing a song titled "Lovely Girl" for the Pretty Man OST. However, the band came to dislike this name as many fans compared their name with that of American band Maroon 5.

Praying Mantis- The Day the Sun Turned Cold (Lyrics)
Look back on creation
The long road to where life begun
Right from the start we have walked all the way
The final strait we had run
Now look at the world
An image of hell that has come
The cauldron of life now melting away
Billions of years that are gone
What's the reason for destruction
It's the nature of the beast
The devil's rejoicing this night that'll never end
Unforgiving Darkness this nightmare's not pretend
Life is just illusion a piece of time we hold
Captured in our madness the day the sun turned cold
The cities on fire
The world is aflame
Our Prayers, they were answered before
But this time we will burn
Now the sun hides forever
The world is brought to its knees
The skies they will hold the ashes of time
Seas of blood they will freeze
Searching thro...

Look back on creation
The long road to where life begun
Right from the start we have walked all the way
The final strait we had run
Now look at the world
An image of hell that has come
The cauldron of life now melting away
Billions of years that are gone
What's the reason for destruction
It's the nature of the beast
The devil's rejoicing this night that'll never end
Unforgiving Darkness this nightmare's not pretend
Life is just illusion a piece of time we hold
Captured in our madness the day the sun turned cold
The cities on fire
The world is aflame
Our Prayers, they were answered before
But this time we will burn
Now the sun hides forever
The world is brought to its knees
The skies they will hold the ashes of time
Seas of blood they will freeze
Searching through the darkness
The ghostly sounds ride the wind
Seeing the souls of all history gone
Kissing goodbye to their friends
Our tears in the clouds
Our blood in the rain
As the earth lies in darkness once more
Will it see life again?

The mantises or Mantodea are an order of insects that contains over 2,400 species and about 430 genera in 15 families, by far the largest family being the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all have fore legs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with fore arms folded, has led to the name praying mantises.
They are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species actively pursue their prey. They normally live for about a year; in cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn, and die. The eggs overwinter, protected by their hard capsule, and hatch in the spring. Females sometimes practice sexual cannibalism, eating their mates after copulation, or occasionally decapitating the males just before or during mating.
Alone again, you swear for the last time You won’t go through this hell of a life, You know as mine So start again, build a wall to hide That brave face you know so well No one else could ever tell, but I know There must be something more (x2)…….. When your nights are lonely And the tears start to fall like rain When your love’s in the dust, Will you remember my name? When all the stars are fading And you’re walking in darkness again When there‘s no one to trust, Then you’ll remember my name All over now, so many could have been But you don’t remember the ups and downs Or in – betweens So close your eyes, feel it slip away You start to feel alive again, Until you taste the bitter end Let it go You’re holding back the pain Holding back the pain…….. When your nights are lonely And the tears start to fall like rain When your love’s in the dust, Will you remember my name? When all the stars are fading And you’re walking in darkness again When there‘s no one to trust,
