URIAH HEEP, vol. 2 (ABO#087)

URIAH HEEP
HEEP HEEP HEEP ... URIAH ! vol. 2
(1976-2008)

After David Byron left the band in 1976, former Lucifer's Friend's frontman John Lawton joined to fit Byron's place. That new recrew gave fresh blood the Heep's music and also a new direction : although we could still hear some soft songs, Uriah Heep was to become more and more a Hard Rock band than before, especially live. Lawton left only 3 years after he joined making the band fall into debth until they found a stable line-up with Bernie Shaw at the microphone. Although Bernie's style was not the best a Heep's singer ever had, we all must admit that it was Heep's voice for that period. 10 years after a deeply disappointing album, Sonic Origami, Uriah Heep is now back for good. Their new album is one of the best ever made since 1976.
