This is the album that solidified Uriah Heep's reputation as a master of gothic-inflected heavy metal. From short, sharp rock songs to lengthy, musically dense epics, Demons and Wizards finds Uriah Heep covering all the bases with style and power. The album's approach is set with its lead-off track, "The Wizard": it starts as a simple acoustic tune but soon builds into a stately rocker that surges forth on a Wall of Sound built from thick guitar riffs, churchy organ, and operatic vocal harmonies.

Demons and Wizards - четвёртый альбом британской рок-группы Uriah Heep. Оригинальный релиз представлял собой винил в разворотной обложке, автором художественного оформления которой стал Роджер Дин (Roger Dean). Оформление содержало скрытую эротическую графическую аллюзию на мужские и женские гениталии. Why (Extended Version) (Box, Byron) – 7:39.
