Song is latest from 25th studio album
British hard rock legends and progenators Uriah Heep have shared “Hurricane” as the second single from their forthcoming 25th studio album, Chaos & Colour, set for release January 27th via Silver Lining Music. The anthemic and epic track carries an underlying historical and mythological theme.
“Simon (Pinto) and I wrote the song about how our ancestors looked at storms and how these can be interpreted as being messages from the Gods… Their power is awesome and a great inspiration for a rocking track!” explains co-writer and drummer Russell Gilbrook.
“Music and lyrics are of paramount importance to me… I used to hate those ‘80s MTV million dollar videos as they created such a visual image that all calls to imagination were lost because you didn’t have to think. I think the power of music and lyrics are that they do certain things to certain people,” founding member Mick Box adds.
Chaos & Colour is an album which bristles with explosive classic rock guitars, supreme harmonies, and Heep’s famously generous keyboard foundation. “One Nation, One Sun” is a journey of soaring balladic contemplation, “Fly Like An Eagle” takes the listener on a journey of meditation, whilst “Closer To Your Dreams” is a battle cry for all rockers to get out there and do it, with Shaw imploring that “So many have tried but slipped away/Now it’s time for you to have your say.”
