[[Uriah Heep]] are a British [[Progressive Rock]] band [[Long Runner|whoseformed debutin was1969 releasedand still active in 19702020]], with 21 twenty-five studio albums, two albums composed of re-recorded material, eighteen live albums and thirty-nine compilation albums under their belt. They are considered one of the first metal bands, having been beaten to the punch of actually creating it by [[Led Zeppelin]], [[Deep Purple]] and [[Black Sabbath]] by a year or two.
 
The nucleus of the original group was David Byron, a singer with an operatic voice and multi-octave vocal range and lead guitarist Mick Box, both of whom had played in a psychedelic group called Spice in the sixties. The third member of the core of Uriah Heep was Ken Hensley, who contributed keyboards, some guitar and most of the songwriting. Bassist Gary Thain and drummer Lee Kerslake completed the "classic" line-up that played on the ''Demons and Wizards'' and ''The Magician's Birthday'' albums.
