DEEP PURPLE
=1
EARMUSIC
In 1974, both hippies and teens from around the world were grooving to the infectious smouldering sound of “Smoke On The Water”. 50 years later, the masterminds behind this iconic tune, Deep Purple have just released a brand-new album, =1.
Do you remember back in the day fiddling with a miniature transistor radio, eager to scan the airwaves for that perfect song, and the sheer excitement of stumbling upon a Deep Purple track? Well, get ready for that same rush when you hear the pure classic sounds of “Portable Door”, the heavy groove of “Pictures of You”, “Lazy Sod”, and the other tracks off this LP.
With an incredible 100 million albums sold, these guys are on fire, releasing hit after hit, topping charts like it’s nobody’s business, shattering boundaries into a million pieces while rocking on top of the debris, and letting audiences worldwide know what real rock ‘n’ roll is all about.
Is this going to be yet another album chart-topper, marking it a fourth consecutive hit for these heavy rock gods? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—this band isn’t going anywhere and is set to keep rocking until Ian Paice’s Pro-Mark drumsticks can’t slam up a beat, which is never!
So, what’s the secret behind Deep Purple’s enduring allure? Is it their electrifying guitar riffs, soul-stirring lyrics, or just pure rock ‘n’ roll magic? Decide for yourself, listen to =1, and don’t be afraid to crank up the volume.
