Uriah Heep's first studio album in almost ten years, Wake The Sleeper, is due out via Universal Music this month.

Recorded in 2007, Wake The Sleeper was produced by Mike Paxman (STATUS QUO, JUDIE TZUKE). In the words of Mick Box, "We are delighted to be reunited with a major label in Universal music. Wake The Sleeper is an album we are incredibly proud of, and one that we hope the fans will see as one of Uriah Heep's best. We can't wait to get back out on the road to showcase the new songs."

This is the band's first album without their long-standing and original drummer, Lee Kerslake who sadly had to leave the band due to ill health in January 2007. Filling the drum stool for the very first time is the hugely well respected Russell Gilbrook (TONY IOMMI, VAN MORRISON, JOHN FARNHAM and LONNIE DONNEGAN). Current band line up is Mick Box - guitar, vocals; Trevor Bolder - bass, vocals; Phil Lanzon - keyboards, vocals; Bernie Shaw - lead vocals and Russell Gilbrook - drums, vocals.

Full album tracklisting as follows:
'Wake The Sleeper',
'Overload',
'Tears Of The World',
'Light Of A Thousand Stars',
'Heavens Rain',
'Book Of Lies',
'What Kind Of God',
'Ghost Of The Ocean',
'Angels Walk With You',
'Shadow', 'War Child'.

Wake The Sleeper will also be released on Vinyl as a 12" Limited Edition in a stunning gatefold sleeve.

D'après eux, le meilleur album depuis Equator, te laisse pas faire fire !

Uriah Heep's first studio album in 10 years is also their best since "Equator" (1985).
"Wake the sleeper" features new drummer Russell Gilbrook who replaced Lee Kerslake that left due to illness.
Mick Box, Bernie Shaw, Trevor Bolder and Phil Lanzon has been playing together for 22 years so you could say they're a super tight band by now and it shows on the new album.
But Heep is also more hungry than ever where the songs are their strongest in over 2 decades, the amazing harmony vocals are there ofcourse as well as the classic sound of the 70's.
Which Heep fan can say no to splendid tracks like "Tears of the world", "What kind of god", "War child" and "Wake the sleeper"?!
I wonder what Mick Box has in mind for the 40th anniversary next year? How cool would it be if Heep could play songs from all 21 studio albums!

URIAH HEEP - Special Report Available With Mick Box

URIAH HEEP guitar legend Mick Box spoke to Detritus recently about a number of topics including the band's new album, Wake The Sleeper, out now via Noise/Sanctuary Records.

The following is an excerpt from the chat:

Q: The album is so consistently good I'm having a hard time choosing a favorite but I especially like 'Overload' and 'Tears Of The World...'.

A: "Well that's great, 'Tears Of The World' is a typical Heep sort of song isn't it? All the harmony work that we're known for which is our trademark, it's got the wah wah guitar solo and loads of organ so it's kind of got it all there!" (laughs)

Check out the special report from Neal Woodall at Detritus.

URIAH HEEP Guitarist MICK BOX - "I Thought LEE KERSLAKE And I Would Be In The Same Band Until We Died With Our Boots On But It Wasn’t Meant To Be"


Classic Rock Revisited founder Jeb Wright recently spoke to URIAH HEEP guitarist Mick Box about the band's new album, Wake The Sleeper. The following is an excerpt from the interview.

Jeb: This is first album with Russell Gilbrook on drums. You don’t just go out and replace a legend like Lee Kerslake.

Mick: "I thought Lee and I would be in the same band until we died with our boots on but it wasn’t meant to be. We had done a long, acoustic tour that went right through Scandinavia and Germany and I sat down with Lee and said, 'I think we need to assess a few things. If you haven’t got your health, then you haven’t got anything.' I told him that he needed time to get a few things in order. To be honest with you, he agreed. It was almost like a big weight was taken off his shoulders. I told him, 'We are going to take some time and start writing for the new album and then we are going to go on an 18-month tour. You really need to get a few things in your life in order.' It is not just one thing or another; there were other things as well, but my concern was his health. If he were to continue like this then who knows what could have happened. Having made that decision, which was very difficult, we had always said that we were mates first and musicians second. I ring him up every week to see how he is doing. He is in a good head space now; he is brighter and more vibrant than he has been for a long while."

Jeb: A lot of people look at Uriah Heep as Mick Box’s band. But this lineup, apart from Russell has been together for twenty years.

Mick: "A lot of that comes from the fact that I was also managing the band and being the tour manager. Previous to me taking over that role, we were very unhappy with management because you get ripped off on all sorts of things. With me doing it, my heart and soul were in the right place. When other people were making the decisions, this was not always so. I made a vow halfway down my career that I would only work with people that I really liked — including crew members, agents and everything. I have stuck to that and it has worked really well for us. Everyone likes being in the band and everyone wants to be in the band."
