CD/DVD Releases: Uriah Heep To Enter Studio This Month

Posted on Thursday, January 06 @ 03:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Legendary progressive rock veterans Uriah Heep are tentatively scheduled to enter the studio in January to begin recording a new album for a late 2011 release.

Uriah Heep recently announced plans to release a new live album, Official Bootleg Volume II – Live In Budapest, Hungary 2010, containing recordings from the band's May 4, 2010 concert at the Petofi Hall in Budapest, Hungary. The band said, "There are going to be many more recordings from around the world, as this will be an ongoing series, giving fans the chance to hear the band in many different countries.

"These recordings are true official bootlegs in every sense and they reflect that nights performance as it happened, totally untouched. You can almost feel that you are at the concert, so put the CD on, turn it up loud, close your eyes and enjoy a night in Budapest with Uriah Heep."

Celebration, the latest album from Uriah Heep, was released in North America on March 16, 2010 via a new deal between DisManic Distribution and Knife Fight Media.

Heep history has been an extraordinary journey and it was time that their greatest classics were recorded in studio by the lineup playing them live to fans all over the world for more than 20 years.

For Celebration, the band re-recorded twelve of their most successful songs -- classics like "Free Me," "Gypsy," "The Wizard," "Easy Livin'," and, of course, their all-time smash hit "Lady In Black." In addition to that, they composed and recorded two completely new songs as a special gift to their fans: "Only Human" and "Corridors Of Madness," two of their best tracks in years.

Uriah Heep's progressive heavy metal made the British band one of the most popular hard rock groups of the early '70s. Formed by guitarist Mick Box and vocalist David Byron in the late '60s, Uriah Heep released their debut album Very 'eavy... Very 'umble in 1970. Since then the band has released 21 studio albums and played to millions of fans across the globe.

Uriah Heep remains one of British rock's most consistent and long-standing acts, with album sales of over 30 million worldwide.
