Uriah Heep, the British rock stalwarts, unleashed "Conquest" on February 1, 1980, a powerful testament to their enduring prowess in the realms of progressive and hard rock. This 10-track studio album, complemented by a live rendition of their classic "Feelings," is a sonic journey that spans a full hour, offering a rich tapestry of intricate compositions and hard-hitting anthems.

UH's Worst Record Ever
1 out of 5 stars

Maybe the absolute worst UH record ever made! A truly dismal moment, no doubt. Awful keyboards, a singer who's clearly out of their depth, just plain unbearable.

Sloman's Vocal Struggles
5 out of 5 stars
vebomnueljs11 September 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧
For those curious about why John Sloman struggles with the notes or can't match the vocals, it's quite straightforward. This album was initially crafted with John Lawton's voice in mind, tailored to his vocal range. So, Sloman was suddenly thrown into the deep end when given this material. All things considered, he did a remarkable job breathing life into the songs and making the album a reality. There are even some versions of this album featuring John Lawton on vocals, known as "Ten Miles High" by Uriah Heep. John Sloman was picked by the management at the time, not by the band. They were after someone young and energetic, reminiscent of David Byron after Lawton's departure. However, Sloman was swiftly replaced by Pete Goalby because he truly botched all the classic songs from Heep's first decade during live shows. Hence, no live concert with Sloman on vocals has ever seen an official release.

For those curious about why John Sloman struggles with the notes or keeps up with the vocals, it's quite straightforward. This album was originally crafted with John Lawton in mind, tailored to his vocal range. So, Sloman was suddenly thrown into the deep end when given the material. All things considered, he did a commendable job breathing life into the songs and making the record a reality. There are even some versions of this album featuring John Lawton on vocals, known as "Ten Miles High" by Uriah Heep. John Sloman was picked by the management at the time, not by the band. They were after someone youthful and energetic, much like David Byron after John Lawton's departure. However, Sloman was swiftly replaced by Pete Goalby because during live shows, he utterly ruined all the classic tracks from Heep's first decade. Hence, no live concert with Sloman on vocals has ever seen an official release.
