Just a few short weeks after the excellent new Deep Purple album InFinite arrived, this kick ass release follows hot on its heels. Purpendicular are a European Deep Purple tribute band who have been around since 2007 playing the music of that legendary but also recording their own original music in the same style as the mighty Purple. VENUS TO VOLCANUS contains eleven original songs squarely in the vein of everything from Deep Purple In Rock to InFinite. The album features some very special guests including Ian Paice (Deep Purple) and Tony Carey (ex-Rainbow). The album released on Fastball Music Records Germany on the 14th of April 2017, and distributed Worldwide by Soulfood. Purpendicular is one, if not the most important Deep Purple tribute band in the world. It has even got the approval of the mighty Purple boys themselves. Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice makes that very clear by guesting on one track. On this VENUS TO VOLCANUS album they play eleven self-penned songs that come unbelievably close to the real thing. These guys eat and breath Deep Purple and know exactly how to create that sound, energy and atmosphere. Irish singer Robby Thomas sounds almost exactly like Gillan in his days of glory and the arrangements of the songs create that same vibe and groove that is so typical for Deep Purple. Word is that this band is nothing less than sensational on stage, so if they are playing somewhere in your neighbourhood, check them out! Is this all relevant? It is because of the quality by which it is done. Purpendicular is one of the most booked Deep Purple tribute bands who have been touring permanently all over Europe since 2007 when their Irish frontman Robby Thomas Walsh founded the band.

Following their debut release This Is The Thing #1 from 2015, the band now present their album VENUS TO VOLCANUS. Not to be confused with cover bands, on this album again solely features self-penned songs dipping indeed into the classic Deep Purple sound, but with respect and the addition of fresh ideas and a modern songwriting. Thus, the songs from VENUS TO VOLCANUS offer everything you can expect. Crisp guitars, flurrying organ solos, groovy rhythms and Robby's expressive rock voice covering all facets from power vocals to gentle, balladic chantings with the greatest of ease. Frontman Robby carries each of the eleven songs across the finishing line true to the style. It speaks for itself that the band could win Deep Purple original member Ian Paice over to support them on several live shows as well as on both albums. That is how the song "Wonderful" found its way on the new album featuring Tony Carey as a bonus. The band was tour the album starting 2017 in many European countries. January, February and March the band was tour with Ian Paice (Deep Purple) in France, Germany, UK and Holland. If you love Deep Purple old and new, Purpendicular do their best to combine both worlds here with their own original material. VENUS TO VOLCANUS is not only a fantastic tribute to a legendary band, but also a testament to just how good Purpendicular are at doing their own thing.
