NOTE: This Album Is Dedicated To JON LORD. Souls, Having Touched, Are Forever Entwined.
NOW WHAT?! is the 19th studio album by English rock band Deep Purple. It was released on 26 April 2013. It was the band's first studio album in over seven years as Deep Purple's previous studio album, Rapture Of The Deep, was released in late 2005. On 26th February 2013, the album's title was announced. The songs "Uncommon Man" and "Above And Beyond", which includes the lyrics "Souls, having touched, are forever entwined", are dedicated to founding member Jon Lord who died in July 2012. "Uncommon Man" is partly inspired by the classical composition "Fanfare For The Common Man", and features a synthesizer-generated fanfare theme composed by Don Airey. Deep Purple decided to go back to their roots with NOW WHAT?! and it paid off. The result is a classic Deep Purple album that will thrill their hardcore fan base. Every member made great contributions on the album. Vocalist Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover collaborated on the lyrics. Guitarist Steve Morse and keyboardist Don Airey are the true rock stars on the album. They gave 110% and it shows in both their songwriting and their playing. Drummer Ian Paice, along with Glover, lay down the groove to allow the others to jam resulting in a great listening experience. Six months after its release, NOW WHAT?! was certified Gold in Germany.

Returning with this set, the band's first since 2005's Rapture Of The Deep, and featuring a near-classic lineup. Jon Lord, whose distorted organ parts were so much a part of the classic Deep Purple sound, left the band in 2002 and died in 2012 of pancreatic cancer. One can only marvel at how timeless it sounds, as if it were actually recorded in the early '70s and not tracked a little more than a decade into the 21st century. NOW WHAT?! sounds exactly like Deep Purple in the band's prime, moving from swirling, massive soundscapes to tight, riff-laden sections and back again with a swaggering confidence that is really pretty amazing, particularly given the senior-citizen ages of the band's members. The opener, "A Simple Song," is vintage Deep Purple, while "Weirdistan" and "Hell To Pay" simply rock by anyone's definition of the term, while the closing track, the massive, powerful, and just slightly eerie "Vincent Price," seems like a prog rock metal opera scaled down to single-track size. It's easy to imagine this version of Deep Purple slipping any of these songs into their live set alongside the group's classic tracks from days past without skipping a beat. NOW WHAT?! shows a band that still knows what to do, and that the album doesn't cater to the current studio tricks and processes only makes it feel and sound even more like it comes from the golden age of British prog metal. Some things really shouldn't change, and Deep Purple recognize that. They haven't changed a bit, and the group's many fans are going to find this release comforting in that regard. Bonus DVD includes interview with the band and audio of ''All The Time In The World'' (radio edit), ''Perfect Strangers'' (live) and ''Rapture Of The Deep'' (live). Live tracks recorded in London on 10th October 2005.
