Uriah Heep
|
|
'Conquest' is the thirteenth studio album by Uriah Heep. It was released worldwide by Bronze Records, however the album was never released in North America, where it was difficult to find even as an import. 1979-80 was a period of change for Heep, with John Sloman taking over lead vocal duties, drummer Lee Kerslake quitting, and main songwriter Ken Hensley ultimately leaving the band. Taken together with the commercial rock sound of the album, this is the most contentious era of Uriah Heep's history, with many fans believing 'Conquest' is the group's worst record.

'Abominog' is the fourteenth studio album by Uriah Heep. It was their first album without keyboardist Ken Hensley. The album was critically acclaimed and fairly commercially successful, due in part to the band retooling and updating their sound to a contemporary style and delivering a punchier, more pop metal era-appropriate effort.
