DEEP PURPLE: 'Whoosh!' Album Details Revealed, European Tour Announced
DEEP PURPLE will release its new album, "Whoosh!", on June 12 via earMUSIC. The legendary rockers' 21st studio LP was once again helmed by Canadian producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, PINK FLOYD, ALICE COOPER), who also worked on DEEP PURPLE's last two studio albums, 2017's "Infinite" and 2013's "Now What?!" Together they created the most versatile album in their collaboration. DEEP PURPLE "stretched out in all directions" without any limitation, letting their creativity go.
"DEEP PURPLE is putting the Deep back into Purple" was the half-joking motto in the studio after the first songs made it clear that Ezrin and PURPLE were on their path to creating an album pushing the boundaries of time, while voicing their resentment about the current situation of the world and addressing all generations.
"Whoosh!" will be available as limited CD+DVD mediabook (including the one-hour feature "Roger Glover And Bob Ezrin In Conversation" and, for the first time, the full live performance at Hellfest 2017 as video), 2LP+DVD edition, limited boxset and digital.
"We've included everything that made the whole band smile, including Bob Ezrin. We've always enjoyed making music and having the incredible luxury of a loyal audience," said guitarist Steve Morse.
Track listing:
01. Throw My Bones
02. Drop The Weapon
03. We're All The Same In The Dark
04. Nothing At All

Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,

While I have been passing up the chance to see these guys live on the past few tours, I will jump on any studio release that they put out.

I like the art work for the new release

That artwork looks like something you'd see on the cover of the old "Heavy Metal" sci-fi / fantasy comics magazine.

Not sure if anyone noticed the song from the tracklisting, " And The Address ". It's the first song off of they're Shades of Deep Purple release from 1968.

They keep on rolling. Good for them.
