Rather than resting on their well-deserved laurels, Deep Purple's Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Steve Morse and Don Airey, Mark VIII are still travelling the scope of hard rock, bringing their impressive catalogue to an ever-increasing fan base and picking up new listeners around the world. The 70s have seen Deep Purple being catapulted to the status of mythical rock band, with their holy grail of In Rock (1970), Machine Head (1972) and Made In Japan (1973) generating both huge concert grosses and album sales. Today, the band's discography can be considered as one of the finest musical outputs to grace rock music and Deep Purple remain one of the most mythical rock band that ever existed.
