British hard rock staples DEEP PURPLE will release their first studio album since 2005, entitled NOW What?!, via earMUSIC on the following dates:

G/S/A, Finland, Spain - April 26th

UK, France, Benelux, Poland, Czech, Norway, Denmark - April 29th

North America, Italy - April 30th

Sweden - May 1st

After various songwriting sessions in Europe, the band recorded and mixed the album in Nashville with producer Bob Ezrin (PINK FLOYD, ALICE COOPER, KISS, etc).

NOW What?! features 11 new songs. The album was recorded with no musical rules… and it shows a modern and fresh production to the point that Deep Purple have never sounded so close to the spirit of the 70s in the last 20 years as they do now. The album will also be released as a limited edition with a bonus DVD featuring Deep Purple discussing the new album and one bonus studio cover version. It will also be released as double vinyl LP.

NOW What?! is also the name of the World Tour to be announced shortly.

The first taste from NOW What?! will be the release of a double A-side single on March 29th (as a limited and numbered vinyl 7“, CD single and digital download).
