Deep Purple’s New Era: Ian Gillan on ’=1’ and Hard Rock Legacy for Qobuz

Along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple completes the Holy Trinity of hard rock “made in Britain“, without which hordes of bands would never have seen the light of day. With =1, their 23rd studio album released in the summer of 2024, Purple proves they can still produce powerful, melodic rock’n’roll. Frontman Ian Gillan reflects on his long career and his current vision of his singing and his band.
