DEEP PURPLE: 'Rapture Of The Deep' Final Artwork Revealed

August 30, 2005

DEEP PURPLE fan site The Highway Star has unveiled what appears to be the final artwork for PURPLE's new CD, "Rapture of the Deep". Check it out at this location.

As previously reported, "Rapture of the Deep" is scheduled for release on October 21 via Edel Records.

DEEP PURPLE spent five weeks at a Los Angeles studio earlier this year recording the follow-up to 2003's "Bananas" with producer Mike Bradford. The album is described by keyboardist Don Airey as "a lot heavier" than "Bananas". "We recorded it in the same studio that use to be used by KORN, and it's got a wonderful sound," Airey said. "It's got a real, immediate drum and organ sound. I was really happy working in there."
