Even amongst the few surviving bands of their generation, Deep Purple are different. They suffer beneath no shadow of a former glory; they’re no caricature of the band that once was. It’s an impressive feat, given Purple are singularly responsible for the most overplayed guitar riff of all time. According to frontman Ian Gillan, who joined in 1969, the band is “working better now than it ever has... Read More

For the casual fan, Purple will be eternally remembered as the hard hitting Ian Gillan-fronted '70s heavy rock band that pumped out chart-busting hits such as Black Night and Smoke On The Water. The Purple story, however, is a lot more colourful and multi-faceted than this as the band has enjoyed a labyrinthine career characterised by multiple line-up changes, explosive ego-clashes and brave...

Opeth have always been known for their progressive death metal sound – complex riffage, growly death vocals and heavy, heavy guitars. So it comes as a huge surprise that although there are progressive riffs aplenty, both the death and the metal have been stripped from Opeth's sound on Heritage.

     North Carolina rapper the Coin Locker Kid worked with Katalyst on a Geoff Barrow (Portishead) project before collaborating on this tune. With snapping horns, skittering drums and a jumping Hammond organ, the Shirley Ellis classic comes spinning back to life.
