Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drastically expanding the heavy metal blueprint of their debut, Uriah Heep embraced massive orchestral ambition, highlighted by the sprawling, 16-minute brass and woodwind-backed title track. 'Salisbury' is a fiercely energetic, remarkably heavy hard rock album, balancing intensely passionate vocal harmonies with wonderfully melodic, beautifully epic progressive rock experimentation.
