About
Wake The Sleeper is the 21st album by Uriah Heep, recorded in 2007 and released in 2008. It was the band's first studio album since 1998's Sonic Origami. It received strong reviews from the press and fans alike, often being considered the band's strongest post-70's album. It was praised for modern sound combined with classic hard rock, progressive rock and heavy metal composition. It was nominated by Classic Rock Magazine for the Album Of The Year award. The album was also released on a vinyl. Wake The Sleepers reached #55 in both Swiss and Swedish album charts and #172 in the UK. The album was received so positively, that the band decided to play it in its entirety during the lenghty supporting tour - a decision very uncommon among bands with such a rich discography. Although two previous studio album, Sea Of Light and Sonic Origami, were popular among fans and were said to contain some of the best Heep music in many year, it was Wake The Sleeper that renewed much interest in the band. Very good album reviews and great live shows played all over the world resulted in many appearances at summer rock festivals in Europe. Wake The Sleeper was the first album released by the current (as of Dec. 2010) line-up of the band, which includes: Bernie Shaw Mick Box Trevor Bolder Phil Lanzon Russell Gilbrook .
