The lineup for Raging Silence features Mick Box (guitar), Bernie Shaw (vocals), Phil Lanzon (keyboards), Trevor Bolder (bass), and Lee Kerslake (drums). This formation successfully blended Uriah Heep’s classic melodic sensibility with a modernized hard rock sound, reconnecting the band with its roots while embracing contemporary production.
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.
Different World is the 18th studio album by British rock group Uriah Heep, released in 1991 in Europe and Japan, but not in North America. Different World was the first Uriah Heep studio album from which no single was released in the U K.
The album features Peter Goalby on lead vocals, Mick Box on guitar, Bob Daisley on bass, Lee Kerslake on drums, and John Sinclair on keyboards. This lineup brought a tighter, more aggressive sound, with a stronger focus on riff driven songwriting, punchy rhythms, and anthemic choruses, while largely moving away from the progressive and organ heavy textures of the band’s 1970s output.
