Deep Purple In Rock

The cacophony of sound that is Deep Purple In Rock (spearheaded by Ritchie Blackmore's blistering guitar solo) introduces opener "Speed King" and makes it immediately obvious that the band was no longer fooling around, but the slightly less intense "Bloodsucker" did afford stunned listeners a chance to catch their breaths before the band launched into the album's epic, ten-minute tour de force, "Child in Time." Experience Ian Gillan's masterful vocals and the band's powerhouse performance on this album, featuring intense crescendos and impressive solos.
