Head First

Uriah Heep

A high-gloss collision of New Wave of British Heavy Metal and arena-ready AOR. Punchy, synth-heavy, and driven by soaring vocal harmonies.

May 1983 · Mercury

Find on Amazon

A high-octane blend of urban urgency and triumphant melodicism.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the cinematic synth swell of Roll-Overture into the driving riff of Red Lights.
The soaring, multi-tracked vocal harmonies that elevate the chorus of Lonely Nights into an anthem.
The intricate interplay between Mick Box's wah-drenched guitar and John Sinclair's modern keyboard textures on Rollin' the Rock.
