PURPENDICULAR feat. IAN PAICE release “Banned”, the new single and also title track from the new studio album out on 10 October at Metalville.

“Banned” is a provocative dig at today’s cancel culture. The song raises the voice for all those who have been pushed to the sidelines. Not in silence, but full of defiance, with rough riffs and lyrics that make no attempt to apologise. ‘Banned’ thus turns a widespread view into its opposite: being marginalised is not a defeat, but power regained.

In the hot summer of 2024, the band decided to write their fourth album in a remote village high in the mountains near Porto, Portugal.

The concept was agreed on the first night but that concept took a twist when the devastating fires took place that very evening, putting the lives of the band in grave danger.

The band were rescued off the mountain from their villa, too a safer option and to an alternative accommodation where they spent the night watching the fires rage on the veranda.

It was here titles and more ideas came to fruition, to add to the already conceptual theme of BANNED which summarises todays sensitive culture, in that the slightest wrong word can get you banned, adding the pun Banned with last two
letters before the last D in the word being crossed out equaling the word BAND.

With all this in mind and the whole band in agreement, it was then decided to add an autobiographical theme also, telling the story of events as they unfolded that treacherous night where many people lost their lives and homes.

The final recordings of the album were completed in Italy, Poland and UK. The record is produced by Alessandro Debiaggi and Robby Thomas Walsh. It is a fresh modern look back at the 70s! It is advised to play this Record very loud!

PURPENDICULAR feat. IAN PAICE release “You Better Behave”, the second single from the new studio album “Banned”, out on 10 October at Metalville.

“You Better Behave” is a bold, biting commentary on modern society’s pressure to stay silent, even when truth demands a voice. Each verse journeys through shifting generational landscapes, spotlighting how environmental decline and social conformity have tightened their grip. The song builds to a defiant crescendo, exposing a world led by fools—where dissent is dangerous, and integrity belongs to the brave few left standing. We are still here!

In the hot summer of 2024, the band decided to write their fourth album in a remote village high in the mountains near Porto, Portugal.

The concept was agreed on the first night but that concept took a twist when the devastating fires took place that very evening, putting the lives of the band in grave danger.

The band were rescued off the mountain from their villa, too a safer option and to an alternative accommodation where they spent the night watching the fires rage on the veranda.

It was here titles and more ideas came to fruition, to add to the already conceptual theme of BANNED which summarises todays sensitive culture, in that the slightest wrong word can get you banned, adding the pun Banned with last two
letters before the last D in the word being crossed out equaling the word BAND.

PURPENDICULAR feat. IAN PAICE release “Blood Red Moon”, the first single from the new studio album “Banned”, out on 10 October at Metalville.

“Blood Red Moon” was inspired by a surreal moment when the wildfires in Portugal painted the night sky in ash and turned the moon a deep crimson. The track channels that haunting image into a driving rock anthem, filled with emotional urgency and atmospheric tension. It’s a sonic journey through devastation and reflection—where beauty emerges from chaos and silence burns louder than fire.

In the hot summer of 2024, the band decided to write their fourth album in a remote village high in the mountains near Porto, Portugal.

The concept was agreed on the first night but that concept took a twist when the devastating fires took place that very evening, putting the lives of the band in grave danger.

The band were rescued off the mountain from their villa, too a safer option and to an alternative accommodation where they spent the night watching the fires rage on the veranda.

It was here titles and more ideas came to fruition, to add to the already conceptual theme of BANNED which summarises todays sensitive culture, in that the slightest wrong word can get you banned, adding the pun Banned with last two
letters before the last D in the word being crossed out equaling the word BAND.

PURPENDICULAR – feat. Ian Paice – have released the official lyric video for “Four Stone Walls”. The song is the new single from the upcoming studio album “Human Mechanic” which will be released on September 23rd by Metalville Records.

The video can be watched below.

PURPENDICULAR’s success story is amazing. In their first year on tour, the band already completed a short European tour with Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice.

“This band is one of the top bands I work with, you’re going to love them, these guys are so good I only have myself to worry about” – Ian Paice 2012

Over the years PURPENDICULAR have collaborated with such great musicians as Roger Glover, Tony Carey, Paul Morris and also Neil Murray.

Musically, “Human Mechanic” offers the typical Ian Paice grooves and funky bass lines, but without neglecting the heavy hard rock sound.

You won’t find a copy of Deep Purple here, but you will find many different musical influences. But nevertheless: Hammonds and guitars still stand out strongly.
