Доп. информация:

Rapture of the Deep is the 18th studio album by English hard rock band Deep Purple, released in November 2005.

It is the fourth studio album from Deep Purple since Steve Morse joined the band in 1994. It is also the second album to feature veteran keyboardist, Don Airey. The album was produced by Mike Bradford, who also produced the band's previous release, Bananas. Like Bananas, the album was met with a generally positive response from critics and fans.[1] Rapture of the Deep is Deep Purple's first release on the Eagle Records label.

The album peaked on Billboard's "Top Independent Album" Chart at position #43.[2] It achieved considerable chart success in Europe, making the top 20 in several countries.

The track "Wrong Man" was written about Wayne Williams who has been incarcerated for child murders in the United States. Ian Gillan frequently dedicates the song to him during live performances.

The album is being supported by the ongoing Rapture of the Deep Tour.
