Uriah Heep & Nazareth
Both URIAH HEEP & NAZARETH need no too detailed introduction to rock fans. That’s why a little breakdown should be more than enough. Both bands are icons in their own right and their respective genre. URIAH HEEP’s career kicked off in 1969 and still seen as a precursor to the progressive metal genre, being one of the first bands to mingle elements of both worlds, but rather emphasizing melodic elements later. Last year saw the band releasing ‘Into The Wild’ most likely extensively covered in Münster.
