Uriah Heep announce new album ‘Chaos & Colour’
URIAH HEEP have announced a new album!
Titled Chaos & Colour, the upcoming album from the English hard rock giants is the follow-up to 2018’s Living The Dream, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Silver Lining Music.
“The album title reflects that we were in chaotic times with being locked down, tours being cancelled, businesses folding, and all the chaos that was thrown into the world,” explains guitarist/backing vocalist Mick Box. “And as far as I could see it, the only colour people had was through music. It helped so many people get through those difficult years, using that strength and power which music has, to make those bad times not quite so bad.”
The band slowly found their way into Chapel Studios in London during the summer of 2021 as restrictions were tentatively lifted, working once again with Jay Ruston [ANTHRAX, COREY TAYLOR, BLACK STAR RIDERS]. “Jay was completely on board with what we are trying to achieve in the studio,” says Box. “We’re a band that has a fantastic heritage and to carry on that tradition it was vitally important that the band recorded in the studio all playing at the same time. Jay understood that and he pulled out the best of us as a band, as well as individual players, while getting us some amazing sounds.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, URIAH HEEP have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Save Me Tonight. The new song’s accompanying music video was directed by Natalia Jonderko Śmiechowicz.
“Save Me Tonight is another powerful melodic rock track which we have chosen to be the first single as well as the opening track of the album,” says Box. “It is made for rock radio and will surely be included on our new set list in 2023.” Bassist Dave Rimmer adds, “Save Me Tonight comes from a place of frustration and helplessness. Living through these unprecedented past couple of years but hanging on to this raging hope that we would all meet again! Once again, collaborating with Jeff Scott Soto has been a natural and very creative experience and the perfect platform for me to express these feelings and to carry on the URIAH HEEP legacy.”
