Uriah Heep and Saxon

Led by guitarist Mick Box, Brit rockers Uriah Heap enjoyed commercial success in the '70s and '80s when its style of heavy metal and progressive rock became popular. Not willing to just rest on its laurels, the group returned last year with Chaos & Colour, an album of wailing vocals and heavy guitars with a progressive bent that finds the group embracing drastic time signature changes in tunes such as "Silver Sunlight." Like Uriah Heap, Saxon also enjoyed a certain amount of commercial success in the '70s and '80s. Singer-bassist Peter "Biff" Byford has somehow kept the band going all these years. Earlier this year, it released Hell, Fire and Damnation, an album that proves the band, one of the forerunners of the British New Wave of Heavy Metal movement, still rocks hard. The two veteran acts play tonight at 8 at TempleLive at the Cleveland Masonic.
