Bass player Trevor Bolder (D'Alegria endorser) and Uriah Heep (UK) have just announced the title of their new album, "Wake The Sleeper", which is now due out in late January 2008. Since Sanctuary Records was recently acquired by Universal, the band and management decided to release it some months after the initial plan (September 2007), so a proper marketing campaign can be sorted out by the record company. On the photo beside, Trevor can be seen during the recordings in the Chapel Studios.This is the first Uriah Heep studio album since "Sonic Origami" (1998), which means that it's their first effort in almost a decade. Those who have heard the master tapes stated it is easily in their Top 3 which means a lot having the band released 20 albums since 1969, when the group was created! For more details check the official website.
