Review: Uriah Heep - Wake The Sleeper CD

Tuesday September 30, 2008
For a band that never really caught on the U.S., Uriah Heep is doing very well, thank you, after nearly 40 years of rock-making.

With 21 studio albums and 12 live albums in their discography, the band has maintained a huge fan base in Europe, where they still fill stadium and arena concert venues. Inexplicably, Heep haven't been able to get beyond cult band status in the States.

The band's fusion of hard rock, heavy metal and prog rock landed them on the list alongside bands like Yes, Genesis and Rush as pioneers of the progessive metal sub-genre.

Uriah Heep's latest album has found its way to the U.S. and Alun Williams has a review of Wake The Sleeper.
