This is where it all started for the British Uriah Heep, named after a character from Dickens. The transition of the band of his previous incarnation as "Spice" was more than just a name change. Here began to write a legend of Rock that day continues its journey. The core of the band (David Byron, voice, Mick Box, guitar and only original member still in the band over forty years later and keyboardist Ken Hensley) was already in place, although the rhythm section still suffer a series of changes until the formation 'classic' was completed. In this work, the bass is provided by Paul Newton and Nigel Olsson on drums. The "'eavy" refers, of course, the music, but this is a bit misleading. The band's music in fact, often have a dominant rhythm section and powerful, but we are in 1970, a turbulent era of Rock, when Jimmy Hendrix had discovered the world was created what the electric guitar, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were a young beardless, Deep Purple were rehearsing in the room next to Uriah Heep's own and in general had a flood of creativity and experimentation. It is in this environment and context in which 'Very' eavy ... 'Very' umble "is created, with all the influences that this entails. Most tracks are based on keyboards (mostly organ) Ken Hensley, the rock voice of David Byron, and the distinctive guitar sound of Mick Box,
and move on land ranging from the Roots 'blues' to the more primitive hard rock, to progressive rock . Although it was Uriah Heep in its embryonic stage and that the best was yet to come, there is already the potential to be developed later. This is a group that was not well liked by critics. They had much to do with the creation of heavy metal and progressive rock were on a par with any other groups that are continually cited by the 'history books. " Famous was the one "critical" in the infamous musical Rolling Stone published in reference to this record, something like: 'If this band got to succeed, I'll kill myself. From the first note you hear you know I do not want to hear more ...'. We do not know what method is used ... RULES!
