Frontman Ian Gillan shared recently with Songwriting for Songwriters that Deep Purple were finishing up work on a new studio album.

Gillan said of the new material, “Let’s say there’s a general theme. It’s a fairly loose conceptual idea of the end of humanity, but not as grim as it sounds. In fact, it’s very optimistic. It’s about the metamorphosis of humanity into a metaphysical state, our next incarnation.”
