DEEP PURPLE PREMIERE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “THE SURPRISING”
– TAKEN FROM THEIR #1 ALBUM “inFinite” – AND ANNOUNCE RELEASE OF GOLD EDITION INCL. PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED LIVE SHOW, SPECIAL 3-VINYL “THE INFINITE LIVE RECORDINGS, VOL. 1” AND FIRST EVER MOVIE DOCUMENTARY BLU-RAY RELEASE.

Today, Deep Purple are setting sails into new waters with their first ever animated video.
The official video for “The Surprising”, one of the fan favourites from the international success “inFinite”, takes the viewer on a journey through the magical fifty year history of the band. With high attention to detail, the animated masterpiece follows the five heroes of our story – Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Don Airey and Steve Morse – through a stormy ship cruise full of allusions and sees them riding off into the sunset.

The video has been directed and illustrated by Matt Rooke alongside director Peter Rogers who also produced the video together with Craig Hooper and Collin Games, known from the Deep Purple movie documentary “From Here To inFinite”.

Coinciding with the video premiere, Deep Purple and earMUSIC are happy to announce and celebrate the worldwide chart success of the band’s recent #1 album “inFinite” by releasing a very special, strictly limited gold edition on November 17th. Being released in a high quality 2CD digipak with brand new artwork, the gold edition will feature all of the great masterpieces from “inFinite” while also including a brand new, previously unreleased 80min live show from the biggest metal festival in France, Hellfest 2017, as bonus. Thousands of fans assembled to witness this very rocking, very real performance which will also be available as “The inFinite Live Recordings, Pt. 1” on 3-vinyl and has also been produced by Bob Ezrin.

Every fan’s needs will be fulfilled with the release of the 97-minute documentary “From Here To inFinite”, which shows the history of origin of “inFinite” and provides a deep insight into the workings of the band – for the first time on Blu-ray! The Blu-ray furthermore includes over 2 hours of bonus material, including music videos such as “The Surprising”, 3 previously unreleased live videos (“Time For Bedlam”, “Birds Of Prey” and “Smoke On The Water”), all filmed and recorded at Hellfest 2017, as well as in-depth behind the scenes footage, movie documentary outtakes, interviews and an audio commentary by Deep Purple themselves - all previously unreleased.

Gillian's voice is still incredible!

[dzavlangas]

These guys are still producing art 54 years later. They never sold out and get even better with time. They follow their own spiritual path which takes them to all parts of the world. Saw them live a couple of times and they have always been amazing.

Внутри все щемит и мудрости и печали в этой композиции.Всю жизнь я жил и слушал DP время когда надо прощаться....Великие музыканты я благодарю Господа за то.что дал мне жизнь в одно время с ними...

[anatolijfilipov]

Слушаю группу Deep Purple с 1971 года, слушаю до сих пор, голос Gillan буду помнить всю жизнь, да и всех музыкантов уважаю и люблю, потому как все просто художники музыки, бас, соло, орган, ударник, это моя счастливая молодость, мои мечты, держитесь ребята! Всех Вам благ!

[Guilherme-whmc]

Damn Deep Purple, making me cry with this videoclip, references of all albums. Thank you all for making part of my life.

[deElPaso]

В одном клипе вся жизнь коллектива Deep Purple, они прошли свою бесконечность и уходят на другой жизненный виток. Сердце говорит - они прощаются, от этого становиться грустно, но такова наша жизнь мы приходим и уходим из этого мира. Немногим удается оставить такой яркий жизненный след в наших сердцах, за это человеческое спасибо коллективу Deep Purple!

[DieNetaDie]

There has only been ONE drummer for Deep Purple
and there is a reason for that

[magicpilot]

Deep Purple можно слушать до бесконечности, даже постаревший голос Гилана звучит завораживающе.

[reinaldoalves]

This is by far one of the most intelligent videoclip that I have ever seen. It tells the story of the Band, if one knows it. Simply splendid ! Congratulations to earMusic for making this and the producers. It is wonderful for us fans to see this. If you love Deep Purple not matter what MK or era, you will love this video. It is your and our most loved band in the world !

[blackflameovation]

Child in Time, one of the first songs to make the little hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and now 47 years later, this masterpiece, the references to Deep Purple Albums & Songs, the mightiness of Ian Gillan, the memory of Jon Lord, the overwhelming greatness of Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Ritchie Blackmore and all the other guys past and present, hats off to you all and the deepest respect 👍

[alexro]

Deep Purple = legends ! and they always will be !

[valery]

Молодцы!!! Дай бог им здоровья и творческого долголетия ещё и ещё)))

[klee]

I always loved Deep Purple, this song proves why

[pavka]

My father love you, i love you. Thank you for music of freedom!

[vangelisdemeslis]

There's nothing wiser and creepier than a band - or pretty much any entity - being aware of its end and transforming it into an infinite act of Art.
