乐队于60年代末由主唱David Byron和吉他手Mick Box组建,在随后的20年中,有将近30位乐手先后加入过该乐队!在这里,我们没有介绍每位成员,只需要记得URIAH HEEP的经典三人创作组合(即David Byron/Mick Box/Ken Hensley)就够了。
Byron和Box起初是60年代中期一支叫做THE STALKERS的乐队的成员,乐队解散后,他们两个人又组织了一支名叫SPICE(可不是辣妹:P)的乐队。后来,Ken Hensley(吉他、键盘、主唱)以及贝司手Paul Newton加入了乐队,随即乐队改名为URIAH HEEP——这个名字来自狄更斯小说《大卫·科波菲尔》中一个猥琐的小人物,因为1969年正值狄更斯逝世100周年,到处都是关于他的纪念文章。乐队改名以后,起初的鼓手仍然是SPICE时期的Alex Napier,但他很快就被Nigel Olsson替代。
1970年,URIAH HEEP发行了他们的首张专辑Very ‘Eavy,Very ‘Umble(这张专辑在美国以Uriah Heep为名发行)并迅速得到了乐迷的认可。专辑中David Byron/Mick Box/Ken Hensley三人组合的威力虽然只是初现端倪,但已经令所有乐迷惊叹不已。就在BLACK SABBATH为重金属奠基的同时,URIAH HEEP也独立地发展了属于自己的重金属风格——前卫金属,30年后,URIAH HEEP的首张专辑被誉为1970年重金属三大奠基石之一(另外两张分别是BLACK SABBATH的Paranoid和DEEP PURPLE的In Rock,LED ZEPPELIN被认为是传统硬摇滚风格而未能入选)。
很快,Keith Baker成为了乐队的新鼓手,他参与了第二张专辑Salisbury的录制。但因为承受不了专辑发行后所进行的长途巡演的压力而退出乐队,Ian Clarke接替了他的工作。1971年初发行的Salisbury显示了乐队进一步的前卫趋向——其同名曲长达16分钟,并且加入了26人强大阵容的管弦乐部分。这张专辑在风格上偏软,不过在这张专辑发行后的同一年,他们的第三张专辑Look At Yourself却是一张不折不扣的重金属力作,疯狂的吉他和失真键盘交织出独特的金属诗篇,尤其是那首July Morning,堪与Stairway To Heaven媲美。
乐队仍处于不稳定状态,1971年底,乐队再次经历了一系列变动:Ian Clarke和Paul Newton就分别被Lee Kerslake和Mark Clarke取代。而Mark Clakee在乐队只待了很短的时间就离开了乐队并把自己的位置让给了Gary Thain。到这个时候,URIAH HEEP总算是形成了乐队历史上最稳固也最为经典的“黄金时代”阵容。
1972年,乐队以这个阵容发行了专辑Demons And Wizards,进一步诗化的曲风使专辑在商业上取得了巨大成功,在排行榜上达到了第22名(真正的重金属乐队当然不能在商业成绩上和STATUS QUO这样的流行摇滚相提并论)。借助这张专辑的影响,乐队又在同年趁势发行了Demons And Wizards的姊妹专辑The Magician’s Birthday,同样是一张出色的专辑。这两张专辑是前卫金属的典范之作,它们的影响在多年之后才被逐渐认可。
乐队趁热打铁,又陆续发表了双张现场专辑Uriah Heep Live以及Sweet Freedom和Wonderworld这两张销量不错的录音室专辑。这一系列佳作使得1972到1975年成为乐队的黄金时期。 版权所有:偏执狂金属网 不过从1975以后,URIAH HEEP再次经历了频繁的人员变动,并在事业上开始走下坡路。这其中的关键莫过于乐队的创始人之一、主唱Byron在1977年离开乐队,尽管乐队很快找来了John Lawton接替他的位置,但仍然没有能扭转颓势,虽然新主唱的首张专辑Firefly还是很不错的,但已经于事无补。这之后的Innocent Victim、High And Mighty和Conquest均未能取得成功。这使得键盘手Ken Hensley无心恋战,跑去做个人专辑去了,并最终离开了乐队。这位键盘手在URIAH HEEP时期取得的辉煌成就即便在现在看来也是难以超越的,听听现在诸多前卫金属乐队小儿科般的键盘伴奏,在听听当年Ken Hensley那疯狂的键盘solo,就知道这个差距有多大了。
Ken Hensley的离开使乐队终于遭受了致命打击,尽管Mick Box独立支撑着URIAH HEEP,在整个80年代顽强地继续坚持着自己的音乐事业,不断发行新的专辑,但再也不能找回以前的辉煌了,这点很象失去了Ozzy的BLACK SABBATH。在这段时间内,他们不断变化风格以求生存,其中虽然也不乏Raging Silence和Different World这样不错的作品,但终究没法让人把他们和当年那个重金属创始人联系起来。 版权所有:偏执狂金属网 直到1995年,乐队才终于决定寻回当年的轨迹,在这年的新专辑Sea of Light中,他们完全回到了20年前的风格,放弃了一切现代化的效果,俨然又是一张Demons And Wizards。这使得他们在评论家那里大获好评,也为他们赢得了更多的演出机会。世纪之交的怀念风使乐队在1998年的专辑Sonic Origami之后,更多地忙于发行再版专辑和各种精选、现场专辑,同时到处参加演出,似乎还没有制作新专辑的迹象。不管怎样,我们仍应该对这支富于传奇色彩的乐队致以崇高的敬意。
