…Very ’eavy …Very ’umble

Uriah Heep

Heavy Hammond organ swells collide with operatic vocals and bluesy grit. A foundational 1970 document of hard rock evolving into something darker and more theatrical.

It's like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple had a baby that really loved opera and church organs.

A heavy, theatrical collision of bluesy aggression and gothic mystery.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring, high-pitched vocal scream that launches the opening track into a heavy riff.
The transition in 'Wake Up (Set Your Sights)' where the jazz-inflected intro collapses into a crushing doom-metal crawl.
The delicate, haunting acoustic reprieve of 'Come Away Melinda' providing a stark contrast to the surrounding distortion.
