The greatest thing about Classic Rock is that C.R. isn't dead or carrying a light foot to a deep grave. The men and women that made it are out on the road or in the studio thumpin those bass guitars and kick drums. They're masterfully writing lyrics that speak the street while vocalists might sing in a lower tone but they ain't aching to hook up to auto tune.
That being said...guess whose set to crank up the guitar amp?
Classic Rock Magazine reports Deep Purple is set to release a new album titled ‘NOW What?!’ on April 30 in North America via earMUSIC. Fans will get their first taste of the new music from a double A-side single released on March 29.
Deep Purple recorded the album in Nashville with famed rock producer Bob Ezrin, whose long list of credits includes Kiss (‘Destroyer’), Pink Floyd (‘The Wall’), and a slew of early Alice Cooper albums, among many others. ‘NOW What?!’ features 11 new tracks, and according to a press release, the album “was recorded with no musical rules, and it shows a modern and fresh production…to the point that Deep Purple have never sounded so close to the spirit of the ’70s in the last 20 years as they do now.”
In addition to the usual formats, ‘NOW What?!’ will be released as a limited edition with a bonus DVD featuring the band discussing the new album, and including a bonus studio cover version. It will also be released as a double vinyl LP. The double A-side single ‘Hell to Pay’ and ‘All the Time in the World’ will be released on March 29 on 7″ vinyl (limited to 1,000 numbered copies), as well as digital download and a CD single that will also features bonus live versions of ‘Perfect Strangers’ and ‘Rapture of the Deep.’
Deep Purple will also announce a world tour in support of the album soon.
