Title has yet to be determined

| Deep Purple - Rapture of the Deep |
Deep Purple isn’t sitting around moping about another snub
from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On April 30, 2013, the veteran proto-metal
masters will release their first studio album in the U.S. since Rapture of the Deep.
As yet, the album does not have a title, although Deep
Purple singer Ian Gillan has revealed a few working song titles, including “Out
of Hands,” “Uncommon Man,” and “Hell to Pay.”
“The title of our new album is still a question mark to all
of us … we have recorded a new album, and it’s a fantastic collection of songs,”
says Gillan. “At the moment that’s the only affirmative point we can offer.”
Featuring brand new studio material, the album was recorded
and mixed in Nashville with celebrated producer Bob Ezrin, who has worked with
the likes of Pink Floyd and Alice Cooper, among others. Early word is that the
record is mix of classic ‘70s Deep Purple with a progressive attitude and
modern production.
These days, Deep Purple’s record company is earMUSIC, which
plans on releasing more details about the new album when they become available
on a dedicated website where all band members will be able to post and interact
with fans: www.deeppurple2013.com.
