Fire In The Sky

2017 collection from the iconic hard rockers. A Fire In The Sky features 20 songs and focuses mainly on the band's singles. The heavy hitters are here of course - Smoke On The Water and Highway Star - but so are gems like Perfect Strangers, the title track from the band's platinum-certified album from 1984, as well as Hell To Pay, from 2013's Now What?! Deep Purple formed in Hertford in 1968. The band is considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although their musical approach changed over the years. Originally formed as a progressive rock band, the band shifted to a heavier sound in 1970. Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-seventies.
