Biography:
Uriah Heep is a British rock band, officially formed in 1969 in London, England, when record producer Gerry Bron invited keyboardist
Ken Hensley (previously a member of
The Gods and
Toe Fat) to join
Spice, members of whom included soon-to-become Heep stalwarts
David Byron (vocals) and
Mick Box (guitar). The band rapidly grew to become a seminal classic hard rock act of the 1970s and beyond. Their distinctive progressive/art rock/heavy metal fusion has always featured a massive keyboards sound, strong vocal harmonies and (in the early years)
David Byron's operatic vocals.
