1995 studio album by Uriah Heep
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sea of Light is the 19th album by the British rock band Uriah Heep, released on 1 May 1995. Its songs have remained part of the band's live set to this day. Bassist Trevor Bolder sang lead on "Fear of Falling" and delivered four songs for this album, as many as on the predecessor Different World, a count he never reached before or after. Roger Dean was responsible for the sleeve painting, his third for Uriah Heep.
