Das neue Uriah Heep Album strotzt nur so von
explosiven Gitarren, starken Harmonien und dem Heep
bekannten Keyboard-Spiel. "Der Album Titel reflektiert die
chaotischen Lockdown Zeiten. In denen die Touren
gecancelt wurden, Business brach auseinander und alles
das, was Chaos auslöste", erklärt Mick Box "und das
einzig Bunte, was man hatte, war die Musik, die vielen
Menschen durch diese schwierige Zeit geholfen hat".
"One Nation, One Sun" ist eine Reise einer Ballade, "Fly
Like An Eagle" nimmt den Zuhörer mit auf eine
Meditations-Reise, während "Closer To Your Dreams" ein
Schlachtruf für alle Rocker ist - geht raus und tut etwas -
mit Shaws flehendem Gesang: "So many have tried but
slipped away/Now it's time for you to have your say."
Produziert von Jay Ruston und engineered von Pieter
Rietkerk, ist Chaos & Colour ein Qualitäts-Hardrock-Album
von den Pionieren des Genres, die immer noch
erstklassige Songs abliefern.

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” emanates magic and mystery in a way that the late, great Ronnie James Dio would have heartily approved, 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.” Throughout the album, Bernie Shaw’s timeless vocals are expertly supported by keyboardist Phil Lanzon, bassist Dave Rimmer and Box, with Russell Gilbrook on drums 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.
