Category: Music → Uriah Heep - Abominog (Japan, BVCM-37740) (1982/2005) FLAC

By the dawn of the 80's, Uriah Heep were considered to be a relic in the hard rock world and no was surprised when they disbanded after their previous poorly received "conquest" album. However, everyone listening received an unexpected surprise when the band returned with a new line-up and a sleek revamped sound on 1982's "Abominog". The tone is set by opening track, "too scared to run", a dynamic rocker that contrasts its furious guitarladen veses with a harmony-drenched chorus worthy of Queen. Other sharp rockers in this vein include, "Running all night (with the lion)" and "Hot persuasion", a lusty metal opus with traces of USA AOR giants, Foreigner. This re-issue is complemented with a previously unreleased tracks from the EP, "Abominog Junior" and also three alternative live versions.
