Album Notes & Community Reviews

Uriah Heep achieved their ultimate creative and commercial breakthrough by fully embracing sweeping fantasy lyricism and thunderous, Hammond-driven hard rock. 'Demons and Wizards' is a fiercely energetic, remarkably epic progressive rock classic, balancing intensely passionate, wonderfully melodic heavy rock riffs with beautiful, slightly sombre acoustic psychedelia.
