Uriah Heep: Chaos & colour 2023

Chaos & Colour, the energetic and triumphant 25th studio album from British hard rock legends and progenators Uriah Heep, bristles with explosive classic rock guitars, supreme harmonies, and Heep"'s famously generous keyboard foundation. Led by founding member Mick Box, it is no surprise that themes of light, love and, ultimately, positivity are constant through the eleven tracks. Opener ""Save Me Tonight"" shows the band"'s weighty yet blistering chops, whilst ""One Nation, One Sun"" is a journey of soaring balladic contemplation. ""Fly Like An Eagle"" takes the listener on a journey of meditation, and ""Closer To Your Dreams"" is a battle cry for all rockers to get out there and do it, with Shaw imploring that ""So many have tried but slipped away/Now it"'s time for you to have your say."" During the entire album, Bernie Shaw"'s timeless vocals sit expertly beside the band"'s phenomenal artistry (Mick Box - guitar, Phil Lanzon - keyboard, Russell Gilbrook - drums, Dave Rimmer - bass), rounding out exceptional performances throughout. Produced at Chapel Studios by Jay Ruston, and engineered by Pieter Rietkirk, Chaos & Colour is a superb album of quality hard rock from the pioneers of the genre who continue to create top class material. Old fans will be reinvigorated whilst new fans will surely find Chaos & Colour an exceptional discovery.
