British hard-rockers Deep Purple have finished recordings for their new album, the band’s keyboardist Don Airey said in a phone interview with TASS ahead of the band’s concerts in Russia.

"As far as I know, it's all recorded and now… it's on the tender mercies of Bob Ezrin (producer), he's going to mix it. I haven't been given a release date, I know nothing about that as yet. If I knew, I'd tell you but I don't," Airey said.
