Mick Box of legendary UK rockers URIAH HEEP recently spoke with Metal Express Radio's Mick Burgess while the band was on theit UK tour. Check it out via the audio player below:

Mick Box on continuing to write new music: "It shows the band's moving forward. You don't want to be stuck in a rut, you know. There's so many bands who go out and do their classic rock thing where they just play all the old hits and that's it, but they don't do it with any emotion. We still got passion and energy for our music so we'll always be writing new stuff."

Uriah Heep

Uriah Heep will be one of the headliners of the 2013 edition of the Metalitalia.com Festival being held Saturday, May 11th at Via Mazzini 58, Trezzo Sull’Adda in Milan, Italy. The band will be performing a special best-of set spanning through all the hits of their fundamental career.

Several international and Italian special guests from various branches of heavy metal have also been invited to join such an important act including ARTILLERY, SCHIZO, GAMA BOMB, TORTURE SQUAD and ICY STEEL.

Organizers add: "The additional space outside the venue will allow us to comfortably accommodate the crowd, and will allow more room for the metal market, places to sit and other new additions such as tattoo artists, lounge rooms, etc. The Live Club is surrounded by free parking lots and can also provide meals thanks to a restaurant that oversees the stage. More newly confirmed bands and details will be announced shortly."
