Uriah Heep is a British rock band that formed in 1969. They are known for their unique blend of progressive rock and hard rock, and have sold over 40 million albums worldwide. The band's lineup has changed several times over the years, but their most well-known lineup consists of Mick Box (guitar), Ken Hensley (keyboards), David Byron (vocals), Gary Thain (bass), and Lee Kerslake (drums).

Uriah Heep's early albums, including "Very 'Eavy... Very 'Umble" (1970), "Salisbury" (1971), and "Demons and Wizards" (1972), helped establish the band's reputation as a major force in progressive rock. These albums featured epic tracks with intricate arrangements, virtuoso musicianship, and literary-inspired lyrics.

The band's later albums, such as "Sweet Freedom" (1973), "Wonderworld" (1974), and "Return to Fantasy" (1975), saw them incorporating more commercial elements into their sound, including shorter, more radio-friendly tracks and a greater emphasis on catchy hooks and choruses.

Despite some lineup changes and commercial ups and downs, Uriah Heep has remained active and popular over the decades, releasing a steady stream of albums and touring regularly. They have influenced many other rock bands with their distinctive sound and have continued to evolve and experiment with new styles and approaches.
