Uriah Heep - Hurricane (Official Video)

Показать описание

#UriahHeep #Hurricane #ChaosNColour

The anthemic and epic “Hurricane” carries an underlying historical and mythological theme.
Co-writer and drummer Russell Gilbrook explains: “Simon (Pinto) and I wrote the song about how our ancestors looked at storms and how these can be interpreted as being messages from the Gods… Their power is awesome and a great inspiration for a rocking track!”

Founding member Mick Box comments: “Music and lyrics are of paramount importance to me… I used to hate those ‘80s MTV million dollar videos as they created such a visual image that all calls to imagination were lost because you didn’t have to think. I think the power of music and lyrics are that they do certain things to certain people.”

Chaos & Colour is an album which bristles with explosive classic rock guitars, supreme harmonies, and Heep’s famously generous keyboard foundation. “One Nation, One Sun” is a journey of soaring balladic contemplation, “Fly Like An Eagle” takes the listener on a journey of meditation, whilst “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 by Jay Ruston, and engineered by Pieter Rietkerk, 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. In this, their 53rd pioneering year as a band, Chaos & Colour sees Uriah Heep throwing down more life, light and energy than peers 40 years their juniors.

British hard rock legends Uriah Heep are one of the “big four” rock bands, along with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and certainly one of the most intriguing bands both musically and lyrically, to emerge from heavy rock.

Evoking an era when prog, hard rock and heavy metal co-existed in an era of glorious, boundary-breaking music, Uriah Heep rose from inexperienced studio musicians with everything to prove to bona fide limo inhabiting rock stars.

After selling over 40 million albums worldwide, over the years Uriah Heep have influenced many different metal bands around the globe, among the most popular being Dio. Bands including A-ha, King Diamond, Krokus, Demons & Wizards, Fifth Angel and Axel Rudi Pell have all cited Uriah Heep as a band of personal influence, while W.A.S.P and Tesla have covered the band’s songs.

As a guitarist I feel like I have some Mick Box DNA permanently grafted into my musical code. Thanks Mick!

I can't believe the year is 2023 and we're listening to a new album from Uriah Heep.

These old geezers put out a new song and sound as hungry and vital as they were in the beginning of the 70's. I know they changed members a couple of times, but Mick Box, Phil Lanzon and Bernie Shaw prove here that old folks can sweep the floor with youngsters!

First band I ever saw live, Southend Cliffs Pavilion, 42 years ago (aged 13) On holiday in Finland a few years ago, they were playing in a small town called Savonlinna, couldnt believe it, wanted to take my daughters, but was sold out, bahh. Could still hear the music drifting across the lake. 42 years disappeared. keep going !!!

Heard this earlier on Planet Rock, what a friggin buzz. Loved the Heep in the 70, s 80, s lost track of them a bit, but just goes to show that rock bands can ignite years later. Fabulous song, good on yer guys. 👍
