Outsider专辑介绍
Longtime iconic rockers URIAH HEEP have returned with their 24th studio alubm, entitled Outsider. The band's first album since Into The Wild (2011) will be released on June 6th in Europe, June 9th in The UK and June 10th in North America on Frontiers Records. The album's tracklist and cover art have now been revealed.
“We are very proud of our history,” says founder/guitarist Mick Box, “but it is equally important to keep producing new material. This new album, Outsider, is very much a rock album in true HEEP style. It shows that we still have the same passion and energy for our music that we have always had.”
From the opening chords of the album’s hard driving rocker, "Speed Of Sound", to the more introspective closer, "Say Goodbye", Outsider proves that URIAH HEEP has remained a musical influence, and one that can effectively balance its sound with a distinctly contemporary approach. The record, which was produced by Mike Paxman (ASIA, STATUS QUO), also introduces bassist Dave Rimmer, who joined the band last summer after the untimely death of long time member, Trevor Bolder.
Says Box of his late friend, Bolder: “We lost a world class bass player, singer, songwriter and friend. While Trevor was ill, he wanted us to continue working, so we used a bass player called Dave Rimmer, who Trevor approved of. It was only natural that Dave carried on with the band.”
