“Diablo” is a classic Deep Purple rocker driven by riff, groove and the band’s unmistakable chemistry. It opens the door to one of their surreal new story worlds — a dangerous place where a heroine crosses a river, jumps into a fighting pit, celebrates with wine, and somehow makes it back home with a tale to tell.

Frontman Ian Gillan says: “It is all about taking chances. Just for once in your life, do something exciting, step out of the mould, take that curious bend in the road instead of sticking to the highway and do something that will, for the rest of your life, either guide or warn you.”
