Hard Rock Giants DEEP PURPLE Have Album #23 Out – Only For Diehard Fans

British imperishable hard rockers DEEP PURPLE (1967–1976, 1984–present)
have no intention to retire. Their, brand-new, 23rd longplayer, weirdly named
=1 out now.

TUTV: #1 sounds like early DP album from the 60s/70s.

Yep, no surprises, it’s all vintage Purple with instantly recognizable screeching guitar
solos, recognizable organs, recognizable Ian Paice vocals (mind you, he still has a far
reaching and firm voice) recognizable stompers for fanatic headbangers, recognizable bombast and melodrama.

BUT not one tune comes in the neighbourhood of Smoke On The Water, Child In Time or Woman From Tokyo, not even close. If you sound the same for 58 years you still can stand out when you fabricate resistless, magnetic and ear-exciting TUNES with titanic choruses. Sadly this is not the case here. =1 is only for diehard fans.

Hard Rock Giants DEEP PURPLE Share New Fireball Track ‘LAZY SOD’ From Their Upcoming 23rd LP

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

8 July 2024

British hard rock giants DEEP PURPLE (1967–1976, 1984–present) have no intention whatsoever to retire. As announced recently, their 23rd LP, weirdly named =1 will land
on July 19.

They just dropped taster #3. LAZY SOD could have
been a lost track from the 60s/70s. Pure fireball Purple.

Ian Gillan: “Recently, a young journalist asked me how many songs I had written in my life. I replied that the last time my assistant counted, twenty years ago, it was over 500. I felt quite accomplished until she pointed out Dolly Parton‘s 5,000 songs, calling me a lazy sod. I couldn’t help but agree and wrote down the exchange in my notebook.”

Don’t be lazy.
Wake up people.

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

2 May 2024

British hard rock icons DEEP PURPLE (1967–1976, 1984–present)
are still around and still produce lots of decibels.

They release their 23rd LP, weirdly named =1 on July 19.

On the first single, titled PORTABLE DOOR the Purple still sound like they did in the 60s/70s. As hard as concrete, as ebullient as if they were still in their 20s and Ian Gillan still has iron pipes.

Wake up, people for
Deep Purple in Rock.
