Rapture of the Deep is the 18th studio album by English rock band Deep Purple, released in Europe on 24 October 2005,[2] and in the US on 1 November 2005.

It is the fourth studio album from Deep Purple since Steve Morse joined the band in 1994 and the second to feature veteran keyboardist Don Airey.

Like Bananas, the album received generally positive reviews from critics and fans.

The title track "Rapture of the Deep" was released as a promo single in 2005.

The track "Money Talks" sees singer Ian Gillan perform the widest vocal range heard on any Deep Purple recording, with the bridge featuring a double-tracked deep bass vocal and the song's coda featuring a high-pitched scream.
