One of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time releases new album ‘=1’, on July 19th via earMUSIC.
DEEP PURPLE have a new album coming out in July – their first since guitarist Simon McBride replaced Steve Morse. The band’s last album was 2021’s covers’ album Turning To Crime. Morse left the band the following July. The band is also on tour this summer with YES. The new single is “Portable Door” and sounds very ‘classic Deep Purple’ to me. Ian Gillan at 78 still sounds good, and it’s also the whole feel of this song. From the main riff to the changes, Simon McBride’s guitar break and Don Airey’s organ solo – a lot of great stuff packed in at 4 minutes, this gets more likeable every listen. Looking forward to the entire album even more so….despite the odd title ‘= 1‘ and artwork!
