[Heeplist] New album Chaos & Colour released January 2023

[Bob Winward]

Wow, what a nice surprise this email is!!  The song is awesome, has all modem Heep elements.  The guitar and keyboard solos are phenomenal, the vocal line is driving force complete with background vocals and the song is a great rocket without being too heavy sounding. It just comes at you like a panzer doing 180!

I love the title of the recording as well and if the rest of the music is as good as the single, I am sure all Heep fans will be thrilled!!!!!

It has been a month since the horrific Hurricane Ian, but I am "On the Rebound"  and like the old Johnny Winter/Derringer song "Still Alive and Well"

All Heep is Good Heep!

It is the first single and opening track of the album, and is made for rock radio, and will surely be included on our new set list in 2023” enthuses Box.

> Chaos & Colour is the energetic and triumphant 25th studio album from the hard rock progenators. It is an album which bristles with explosive classic rock guitars, supreme harmonies, and Heep’s famously generous keyboard foundation. “Save Me Tonight” shows the band’s weighty yet blistering chops, whilst “One Nation, One Sun” is a journey of soaring balladic contemplation. “Fly Like An Eagle” takes the listener on a journey of meditation, and “Closer To Your Dreams” is a battle cry for all rockers to get out there and do it.

> British hard rock legends Uriah Heep are one of the “big four” rock bands, along with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and certainly one of the most intriguing bands both musically and lyrically, to emerge from heavy rock.

> Evoking an era when prog, hard rock and heavy metal co-existed in an era of glorious, boundary-breaking music, Uriah Heep rose from inexperienced studio musicians with everything to prove to bona fide limo inhabiting rock stars.

> After selling over 40 million albums worldwide, over the years Uriah Heep have influenced many different metal bands around the globe, among the most popular being Dio. Bands including A-ha, King Diamond, Krokus, Demons & Wizards, Fifth Angel and Axel Rudi Pell have all cited Uriah Heep as a band of personal influence, while W.A.S.P and Tesla have covered the band’s songs.
