Deep Purple have released their new single Diablo today. The new track is the latest taste of SPLAT!, Deep Purple’s new studio album, out July 3rd on earMUSIC.
Diablo follows Arrogant Boy, the first single from SPLAT! and opens the door to one of Deep Purple’s surreal new story worlds: the most dangerous place on earth, where a heroine crosses a river, jumps into a fighting pit, celebrates with a bucket of wine, falls into the glitter pool and somehow makes it back home with a tale to tell. Diablo is a classic Deep Purple rocker – the kind of hard rock track that lives from the riff, the groove and the band chemistry captured in the studio.
On the new single, Deep Purple is joined by a special guest, global superstar and Grammy-winning guitarist, singer and songwriter Keith Urban on second guitar.
The official music video, featuring Deep Purple performing, will premiere on earMUSIC’s YouTube channel on Sunday, June 7 th, at 20:00 CEST. Fans joining the premiere will be able to chat with Deep Purple’s Roger Glover.
Frontman Ian Gillan says of Diablo: “It is all about taking chances. Just for once in your life, do something exciting, step out of the mould, take that curious bend in the road instead of sticking to the highway and do something that will, for the rest of your life, either guide or warn you.
SPLAT! has already received enthusiastic first fan and media reactions, with early press praising the album’s Deep Purple spirit. Uncut calls SPLAT! “distilled, high-octane Purple at its finest”. Classic Rock praises the album for delivering “everything that makes Deep Purple one of the greatest acts in hard rock.”
Deep Purple are gearing up for a major run of European summer dates, starting next week in Finland, followed by shows in Norway, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Italy before the SPLAT! World Tour heads to North America.
The upcoming touring schedule includes 86 shows across 28 countries.
