Uriah Heep (band)
Uriah Heep was a
progressive rock and
heavy metal band, formed in the late
1960s in
Britain. Their debut album was
Very 'eavy...Very 'umble, but was self-titled in the
United States. Their second album,
Salisbury was squarely in the progressive rock genre. In spite of their huge popularity in Britain, Uriah Heep was never able to break into the American audiences in a big way, with the exception of one hit song, "Easy Livin'", from their
1972 album release
Demons and Wizards. The band released several successful albums in the
1970s, but their audience declined during the
1980s, to the point where they became essentially a cult band.
