History

Uriah Heep are an English rock band formed in London in 1969, growing out of guitarist Mick Box's earlier group Spice; the band's name was borrowed from the scheming clerk in Dickens' "David Copperfield." Their 1970 debut, "...Very 'Eavy ...Very 'Umble" (released as "Uriah Heep" in the US), paired David Byron's theatrical vocals with Ken Hensley's Hammond organ, helping shape early hard rock, progressive rock and heavy metal. The classic 1972 lineup, Box, Byron, Hensley, bassist Gary Thain and drummer Lee Kerslake, produced the band's best-known songs, including "Easy Livin'," "Look at Yourself," "Lady in Black," "July Morning" and "Gypsy." Uriah Heep have sold over 40 million albums worldwide; 1972's "Demons and Wizards" was their highest US chart entry (No. 23), while "Return to Fantasy" reached No. 7 in the UK in 1975. They built an especially large following in Germany, Russia, Japan and the Balkans. One well-documented piece of trivia: a Rolling Stone critic reviewing their debut vowed to commit suicide "if this band makes it." Guitarist Mick Box remains the only original member still in the band today.
