“Bombay Calling” was recorded in early 1995 and is one of the first shows DEEP PURPLE played with Steve Morse showcasing his virtuosic guitar skills and some of the new material would later make it onto the widely celebrated studio album “Purpendicular”. Astonishingly, the long thought lost master tapes for this unforgettable show in Mumbai were found lying around in an old cardboard box in November 1999.
A true gem for any fan, offering a rare insight into the extraordinary talents of this phenomenal rock band. Considering that Steve Morse only had played with Deep Purple a couple of times before, the raw power he lends to the classic songs is remarkable. The Indian press gave the concert rave reviews, with many claiming it to be the best rock show ever staged in India.
“Bombay Calling – Live in ‘95” is available from August 19th in two strictly limited editions: a 3LP+DVD Heavyweight Vinyl Gatefold as well as a 2CD+DVD Digipak, with both limited editions including the whole show on DVD as a bonus.
After the acclaimed release of “7 And 7 Is”, the first song revealed from their upcoming album “Turning To Crime”, DEEP PURPLE have released their brand new single ‘Oh Well’.
“Oh Well” is a song originally written and recorded by Fleetwood Mac. It is accompanied by a music video that shows Deep Purple on a very special mission.
“Everyone knows ‘Oh Well’ is a great song,” Roger Glover says. “Steve did the demo for that one. You never quite know where it‘s gonna go with Steve because he is very inventive. Right up until the point, with a couple of verses in, it was pretty much the same as the original. And then, all of a sudden, it took off like a rocket… in some other space.”
The official music video for “Oh Well” can be seen here:
“Turning to Crime” is the first studio album by Deep Purple entirely made of songs not written by the band and previously recorded by other artists. It is produced by Bob Ezrin and will be released on earMUSIC on November 26, 2021.

The “time trilogy”, consisting of “NOW What?!”, “inFinite” and “Whoosh!” (2013, 2017 and 2020) has sold over 1 million albums, topped the charts 11 times and achieved more than 40 Top 10 positions worldwide.

Greek heavy rockers CELLAR STONE have released their official video for DEEP PURPLE‘s classic ‘Burn‘, via ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records!
Guitarist George Maroulees comments: “…Deep Purple has influenced as a band a lot. Especially the MKIII era which introduced the line up with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, impact us a lot. So we pay tribute, doing it in our way, to one of the best songs ever written in the history of rock …. BURN!”
ROAR adds about the origins of ‘Burn’: “It was released on the album of the same name in 1974, and was the first song by the Mark III lineup. Written by David Coverdale, Richie Blackmore, Jon Lord and Ian Paice. The song remained the band’s concert opener for the next two years, taking over from “Highway Star”. It opened Deep Purple’s set on the California Jam two months after its release, on 6 April 1974.”

Earlier the band revealed that the band’s upcoming, yet-untitled, second album was mixed by Mr. Jordan Westfall (Black Stone Cherry) at Monocle Studios in Kentucky, USA. The album also features Chris Robertson (singer-guitarist Black Stone Cherry). The final result is something fresh, heavy and intensely melodic.Fourteen songs of pure heavy rock with great songwriting and an over the top production. If you love strong melodies, big choruses and guitar riffing, Cellar Stone won’t disappoint. Just dive in, the album is essential listening. More information TBA.
Influenced by the rock & metal giants of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, UFO, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice In Chains, as well as the bands of today like Black Stone Cherry, Shinedown, Mastodon and Alter Bridge, CELLAR STONE are making their own statement in a characteristic way. Choruses that stick, a pandemonium of guitar harmonies and riffs and a rhythm section that grabs at you, the band is setting the scene and they won’t go unnoticed. Cellar Stone members have toured next to several famous acts such as UFO, Uriah Heep, Black Star Riders, Candlemass and Avatarium. In May 2020, the band released their debut album “One Fine Day” independently, receiving enthusiastic reviews by many highly esteemed magazines and websites (Powerplay UK 9/10 – Metal Temple US 9/10 – Hellfire Magazin DE 8,5/10 – Legacy DE 12/15 – Bleeding4Metal DE 8/10 ) while it was voted as 32nd best Hard Rock album of the year by Denim & Leather US.
