After the revitalized direction introduced on Abominog (1982). Building on that successful reinvention, the album refines the band’s early 1980s sound with a stronger emphasis on melodic hard rock, polished production, and radio friendly songwriting, while maintaining the power and musicianship associated with the Uriah Heep name.
The album was recorded by the classic lineup of David Byron (lead vocals), Mick Box (guitar), Ken Hensley (keyboards, guitar, primary songwriter), Gary Thain (bass), and Lee Kerslake (drums). This formation is widely regarded as one of the strongest and most creative in Uriah Heep’s history, responsible for defining much of the band’s signature sound.
