	Uriah Heep (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Uriah Heep is a British rock band, officially formed in 1969 in England, when record producer Gerry Bron invited keyboardist Ken Hensley (previously a member of The Gods and Toe Fat) to join Spice, a band signed to his own Bronze Records label.
		On April 26, 2005, the band announced on their website and in their Email newsletter that there would be no Magician's Birthday Party in 2005, as they are concentrating their efforts on writing and recording a new studio album to be released in early 2006 (see announcement on the band's website).
		Uriah Heep was one of the first bands to recognize the power of the internet, and maintain a very active web presence, with the band and fans from all over the world actively participating.

	Uriah Heep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Uriah Heep is a fictional character created by Charles Dickens in his novel David Copperfield.
		Wickfield's alcoholism Uriah controls most of his life and business.
		While much of David Copperfield is autobiographical there is no evidence that Heep was based on a character in Dickens' life, though some believe him to be based on Hans Christian Andersen whom Dickens met shortly before he started on this.

	Uriah Heep
		A technically brilliant heavy rock band who were not very successful on the commercial radio market, they may be most noted for staying in existence, despite over 40 personnel changes and two deaths along the way.
		The band were near the forefront of a richly embossed, fastidious style of music later to be called "progressive rock".
		The stability of the new line-up enabled the band to enter their most successful period during the early 70s when the fantastical, eccentric nature of their lyrics was supported by a grandiose musical approach.

	Uriah Heep
		The HEEP are one of the first heavy metal bands to ever form, striking the scene with a hard-hitting album in 1970 that could easily rival BLACK SABBATH's debut from the same year, or even DEEP PURPLE's crushing "In Rock" album which had already soared through British charts.
		Unfortunately URIAH HEEP saw a decline in the following years and their material was not as fresh and exciting as the older albums, although there are many more scattered highlights to be found throughout their extensive discography.
		URIAH HEEP are not only a classic band who is still going strong after 30 years in the business, they are one of the true originators of what we today call "Heavy Metal"!

	VH1.com : Uriah Heep : Biography
		Uriah Heep's by-the-books progressive heavy metal made the British band one of the most popular hard rock groups of the early '70s.
		This lineup of Uriah Heep was its most stable and popular; beginning with 1972's Demons and Wizards, they released five albums between 1972 and 1975.
		Byron left the band in 1977 and was replaced by John Lawton, yet the group's fortunes kept declining right into the early '80s.

		To continue to slag Uriah Heep for being a product of their time in that respect, especially when similar bands who were doing exactly the same thing (and were similarly villified for it at the time) are now regarded as geniuses, is just petty and mean-spirited.
		Uriah Heep are a much underrated band, mainly remembered in the US for one or two hits (ie Stealin' and Easy Livin') and for being one of the apparent main inspirations for Spinal Tap.
		Uriah Heep tends to tread a lot of welcome fantasy-type ground, which is also covered here, but there are other themes here, like the vibe capturing the exhiliration of romance on "Sweet Lorraine" and the fearful doomy lyrics of "Tales".

	Uriah Heep Discography
		In the first half of the '70s (or what could be called the band's "classic" period), Heep could be counted on to pummel its way through pomp rock for good and bad (oftentimes as though oblivious of the distinction).
		Uriah Heep's future seemed uncertain (when hadn't it?), but guitarist Mick Box and drummer Lee Kerslake revived the band's commercial fortunes with the heavy metal hit, Abominog.
		Heep continues to record and tour; Electrically Driven was released in the fall of 2001.

	John Lawton: Uriah Heep history
		Indeed the introduction of Bolder and Lawton in 1976 was to revive enthusiasm in Uriah Heep, the Byron years had ended with the band at a low ebb but this second phase of their history was, in many ways, to be just as successful.
		The melodic, heavy rock of Uriah Heep seemed to still be alive and keen with the band to keep the interest of the fans and the media, Uriah Heep returned to the studio to record an new album for release that same year.
		This undoubtedly won the band many new fans but these were the type of fans who's allegiance to a band was often very short lived, especially if the hit singles success was to disappear as quickly as it came.

		URIAH HEEP has a history long and grand enough to fill several volumes in any rock encyclopedia.
		HEEP has had it all, the chart hits, the alternatingly loving and spiteful critical attention, the seemingly endless sea of members and most memorably, hours and hours of some of the best progressive hard-rock ever recorded.
		As if a single release were not enough, URIAH HEEP have also licensed their last two records, "SPELLBINDER" and "SEA OF LIGHT" for distribution in North America through Spitfire Records.

	Filip Björner's favourite band: Uriah Heep
		The name of one single band is the name of the core of my musical evaluations.
		I think the words "melody with power" is the broadest description which still is distinct enough to capture the identity of Uriah Heep.
		They have had a lot of band members in the years 1970-1986, and all of them has been singers.

		Uriah Heep are the greatest prog band in history.
		Uriah Heep are possibly my favourite band of all; I love all of their 70s albums, most of their 80s ones, and their mid to late 90s albums are easily as good as their esteemed 70s classics in my opinion.
		Heep wrote some blinding tunes with superb, even definitive rock arrangements with classy touches, like the keyboards and the "Heep choir".

	Uriah Heep
		At this point, Uriah Heep were in a transitional state - moving away from the derivative lumpy metal of the previous albums and getting closer and closer to their unabashed dungeons and dragons adventures.
		Apparently, by this time the band had already found and solidified its core audience, and the members thought they could do no wrong as long as they were setting a steady slow 4/4 beat, added high-pitched vocals and 'high-sounding' group harmonies and a touch of 'lyricism' ('Tales' - what a perfect illustration to the formula).
		In desperation, the band falls back on their demons-and-wizards formula on one more number, the ridiculously aggressive 'Beautiful Morning', whose Utopian lyrics are at odd contrast with the thunderstorm of the arrangement.

		Uriah Heep have never had a good rep. It's even been alleged that being a fan of Uriah Heep should be a -10 point Odious Personal Habit in GURPS.
		After original singer David Byron got the sack in 1976, Heep brought the more bluesy John Lawton in to replace him, as well as new bass player Trevor Boulder; this lineup recorded three albums, of which this is the best of the three.
		Not by any means Heep's heaviest work, but the the slow-burning blues of 'Rollin on', the superb blues-rock of 'Been Away Too Long' and the twin guitar on 'Sympathy' makes this a fine album.

		Thain, originally from New Zealand, was one of the new breed of bass guitarists who, as well as putting in plenty of bottom end, also used his axe as a lead instrument, never happy to be submerged in the mix.
		`July Morning' from Heep's third album `Look At Yourself' is the first epic hauled out by the band, showing off all the band's assets, epecially the talents of David Byron, who in 1973 was at the peak of his powers, both as an entertainer and a vocalist with a quite extraordinary range.
		Anyway that encounter aside, there was a trend in the record industry at the time of the release of this album for bands to release live recordings since they, among other things, bought the bands time as they prepared for future studio work.
