Initially released in 1972 ‘Demons And Wizards’ is the fourth album by British rock band Uriah Heep. The album cover retains the original Roger Dean fantasy-art; synonymous with this period of the band’s creativity.
‘Demons And Wizards’ catapulted the band into the stratosphere with over 3 million copies sold worldwide. The newfound chemistry with Gary Thain joining Heep midway through their American tour immediately paid dividends, the classic line-up of Uriah Heep was born. Tracks such as ‘The Wizard’ & ‘Easy Livin’’ became synonymous with the bands success, with biographer K.Blows later going on to say “Everything clicked into place” and it did. ‘Demons And Wizards’ reached No.20 in the UK, No.23 in the US and for 14 weeks it topped the charts in Finland.
