Deep Purple - Stormbringer - Guitar Cover by Flavio Recalde

"Stormbringer" is a song by British hard rock band Deep Purple. It was the third single from their 1974 album Stormbringer. The single "Stormbringer" was released on January 1975.

Stormbringer is the ninth studio album by the English hard rock band Deep Purple, released in 8 November 1974 (UK) and the second studio album to feature the Mk III lineup including vocalist David Coverdale and bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes.

Stormbringer is the name of the second Elric of Melniboné novel by Michael Moorcock. It is the name of a magical sword described in many novels and comics by Moorcock and others which enjoyed enormous success in the 1960s and 70s. David Coverdale has denied knowledge of this until shortly after recording the album. In an interview with Charles Shaar Murray in the New Musical Express he claimed that the name was from mythology.

According to Glenn Hughes, the slurred gibberish that is spoken by Coverdale at the beginning of "Stormbringer" just prior to the first verse is the same backwards dialogue that Linda Blair's character utters in the film The Exorcist, when she is questioned by the priest.

Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple following Stormbringer and its subsequent tour.

The song "Stormbringer" is used in the series finale of the US television series Ash vs. Evil Dead.
