Preprosto ni dovolj superlativov, ki bi na zadovoljiv način zaobjeli pomen prispevka ikonskih Deep Purple k rock glasbi. Glede na to, da so prodali več kot 100 milijonov albumov in že desetletja polnijo stadione in arene po vsem svetu, ni čudno, da je vpliv te skupine tako visoko cenjen. Skupina je na podelitvi nagrad World Music Awards leta 2008 prejela nagrado »Legend Award«, leta 2016 pa je bila sprejeta v Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Deep Purple so resnično »kralji rocka«, ki še vedno vladajo. S svojim opusom, ki obsega sedem desetletij, so Deep Purple pomagali utirati pot in opredeliti žanr hard rocka, hkrati pa so se postopoma pomikali na nova področja, s čimer so ohranili svež zvok in privabili nove oboževalce k legijam tistih, ki so jim ostali zvesti že od samega začetka skupine. Slavna zasedba MKII v sestavi Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Jon Lord in Ritchie Blackmore je ustvarila številne prelomne rock albume zgodnjih 70. let, med njimi tudi »Made In Japan«, ki velja za enega najpomembnejših in najvplivnejših koncertnih albumov vseh časov.

Deep Purple veljajo tudi za eno najbolj angažiranih glasbenih skupin vseh časov. Vse od svoje ustanovitve leta 1968 brez posebnih premorov izdajajo albume, ki se uvrščajo na prva mesta lestvic, Deep Purple pa vseskozi gostujejo po vsem svetu. Samo v zadnjih 10 letih je skupina prodala več kot 2 milijona albumov, njeni zadnji štirje studijski albumi pa so v Nemčiji štirikrat zaporedoma zasedli prvo mesto (vsi so dosegli vrhunske uvrstitve tudi po vsej Evropi), kar na impresiven način poudarja, da britanske legende tudi v novem tisočletju ostajajo v ospredju mednarodne rock scene. Leta 2022 je sledila žalostna novica o odhodu Steva Morsea iz skupine zaradi osebnih okoliščin. Deep Purple so se nato oprli na kitarske vrline Irskega kitarista Simona McBridea in leto zaključili v velikem slogu, obiskovalce pa navdušili z novo energijo in zanosom. Leta 2024 so se Deep Purple vrnili na vrh lestvic, saj je njihov najnovejši studijski album “=1” dosegel prvo mesto v treh državah. To je prvi album skupine, na katerem sodeluje Simon McBride, in s katerim so Deep Purple ohranili zalet s katerim so jezdili na krilih serije uspešnih albumov “Whoosh!” (2020), “InFinite” (2017) in “NOW What?!” (2013). Še petič zapored (vključno s pandemijskim albumom priredb »Turning To Crime«) so se Deep Purple pri snemanju albuma “=1” združili z legendarnim producentom Bobom Ezrinom. Album je bil deležen vala navdušenja, priklical pa je klasični zvok te pionirske skupine, ne da bi se zanašal na nostalgijo. Njegov enigmatičen naslov =1 simbolizira idejo, da se v svetu, ki postaja vse bolj zapleten, na koncu vse poenostavi v eno samo, enotno bistvo, ki pomeni, da je vse enako.

Ob izidu albuma “=1” so se Deep Purple leta 2024 odpravili na novo svetovno turnejo, s katero je število prodanih vstopnic od leta 2022 preseglo 1 milijon. S tem so si še dodatno utrdili status ene najbolj zaposlenih rock formacij, ki nastopa na stadionih in v dvoranah. Deep Purple so ostali zvesti svojim glasbenim koreninam in iz eklektične slogovne mešanice ustvarili svojevrsten zvok, ki na edinstven način opredeljuje skupino, hkrati pa so ustvarili zapuščino, ki jo zmorejo ponoviti le redki. Deep Purple so avtorji kopice “klasičnih” rock himen, ki ohranjajo po celem svetu zimzeleno priljubljenost, ne glede na generacije!

V letošnjem letu je skupina kronala svojo neprebojnost in neuklonljivost še z enim izvrstnim novim studijskim albumom “SPLAT!” s katerim se je še dodatno konsolidirala v novi postavi in ki  je popeljal Deep Purple na novo koncertno odisejado globalne ravni.

English version:
There simply aren’t enough superlatives to properly acknowledge the contribution Deep Purple has made to rock music. Having sold more than 100 million albums and filled global stadiums and arenas for decades, there’s little wonder that the band’s influence is so highly regarded. The band were presented the ‘Legend Award’ at the 2008 World Music Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. Deep Purple truly are ‘rock royalty’, with an ongoing reign. With a body of work spanning seven decades, Deep Purple has helped pioneer and define the hard rock genre while progressively moving into new areas, both keeping their sound fresh and attracting new fans to the legions who have remained loyal since the band’s inception. The celebrated MKII line up of Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore were responsible for creating many of the defining rock albums of the early 70’s, including “Made In Japan”, universally accepted as one of the most important and influential live albums of all time.

Known as one of the hardest working bands ever, Deep Purple has continued to release No.1 albums and tour globally since forming in 1968, with little rest. The past 10 years alone has seen the band achieve over 2 million album sales and 4 consecutive #1’s in Germany for their last 4 studio albums, (all of which have also attained top positions across Europe), impressively underlining that the British legends remain at the forefront of international rock in the new millennium. In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse’s departure from the band due to personal circumstances. Moving forward, Deep Purple sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and zeal. 2024 saw Deep Purple storm back to the top of the charts, as their latest studio album, =1, hit number one in three countries. The release marks the band’s first album to feature Simon McBride and extends the band’s incredible run of global chart-toppers — following Whoosh! (2020), inFinite(2017), and NOW What?! (2013). For the fifth time (including their pandemic covers album Turning To Crime), Deep Purple joined forces with legendary producer Bob Ezrin, The record was met with rave reviews and is said to evoke the pioneering band’s classic sound without relying on nostalgia. It’s enigmatic title =1 symbolises the idea that in a world growing ever more complex, everything eventually simplifies down to a single, unified essence – everything equals one.

Alongside the release of =1, 2024 saw the band embark on a world tour that pushed their ticket sales well past 1 million since 2022, cementing their status as one of rock music’s busiest stadium/arena bands. Deep Purple has stayed true to its musical roots, taking from an eclectic mix of styles to create a distinctive sound that defines the band today, but which in turn, has created a legacy that very few bands could ever hope to replicate. The band has written and produced so many “classic,” well-known and loved songs, that its audience range widely in age and background – something the band readily celebrates. With 2025 bringing rumours of a new recording and with new worldwide shows being announced daily, these fabled hard rock heroes show no sign of slowing down, continuing to push the boundaries of the genre for audiences around the globe.
