Rare Photos Of Late Drum Legend COZY POWELL Posted Online

October 3, 2005

DEEP PURPLE bassist Roger Glover's official web site has been updated with a set of photos taken in Hong Kong in 1979, including some memorable shots of late RAINBOW/BLACK SABBATH drummer Cozy Powell. Check them out at this location.

As previously reported, Eagle Records has set a November 1 U.S. release date for the new DEEP PURPLE album, "Rapture of the Deep". The band spent five weeks at a Los Angeles studio earlier this year recording the follow-up to 2003's "Bananas" with producer Mike Bradford. The album is described by keyboardist Don Airey as "a lot heavier" than "Bananas". "We recorded it in the same studio that use to be used by KORN, and it's got a wonderful sound," Airey said. "It's got a real, immediate drum and organ sound. I was really happy working in there."

"Rapture of the Deep" will be the group's first release since their split with the EMI label.
