No further details are included on the site, which marks the first news by Deep Purple since the release of their 2020 album, “Whoosh!”; the group recorded the project with Bob Ezrin in Nashville, TN, marking their third consecutive set with the veteran producer, following 2013’s “Now What?!” and 2017’s “InFinite.”
The project helped the band earn their highest UK album chart position in 40 years when it entered the Official Charts at No. 4.
Earlier this year, Deep Purple rescheduled a planned UK tour to the fall of 2022.
