    About this album

    Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow announced Rainbow as a serious new force in hard rock, pairing Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore with Ronnie James Dio’s commanding vocals. Recorded in 1975 and released that year, the album blended thunderous riffs, medieval and fantasy imagery, and the kind of melodic heft that would help shape heavy metal’s emerging vocabulary. Songs such as Man on the Silver Mountain, Catch the Rainbow and Temple of the King became enduring touchstones, showing Blackmore’s move away from Deep Purple into a more dramatic, mythic sound world. It remains a landmark debut and one of the key transitional records between hard rock and heavy metal.
