The gasket will have effectively 'glued' the head to the block, some gentle tapping with a lump of wood between the head and your hammer should free it off.

Lift it up hard. Will need persuasion. I assume the exhaust manifold is off/disconnected?

If the manifolds are still on, just grab the manifolds and rock them to loosen it up.
Whatever you do, dont try to lever between the head and block with a screwdriver etc.
