Uriah Heep

- Before Uriah Heep's new studio effort, coming out this year, a new live recording is being released: "Live In The USA". Recorded during Heep's gig at the Classic Rock Festival 2002 in Trenton, the show will be available on both CD and DVD. Check out the brilliant artworks here:

- We are sorry to say that "The Heepnet" forum had to be closed for a
while. We will work to put the content available somewhere at Heep.com soon, and we'll also create a new Forum so people can share info, messages, CDs, and whatever else fits!
