David Coverdale - vocals
Glenn Hughes - bass, vocals
Ritchie Blackmore - guitar
Jon Lord - keyboards
Ian Paice - drums
The album was a further departure from the band's trademark hard rock sound in favour of soul and funk elements already hinted on the previous release, Burn. David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, the two new members of the band, had even bigger influence on the whole recording process than on Burn. Ritchie Blackmore, dissatisfied with the band's new sound, left Deep Purple after the completion of a supporting tour, putting Mark III to an end.
Just like with Burn, most songs on Stormbringer are sung by both singers, Coverdale and Hughes, except "Holy Man" sung only by Hughes and "Soldier Of Fortune" sung only by Coverdale.
Some of the songs from the album were performed live in 1974-1976 but none of them after the band's reunion in 1984, although Whitesnake (Coverdale-fronted band) and Glenn Hughes still include some of those tracks in their live setlists. "Soldier Of Fortune", although not performed by the band for almost 35 years (as of 2010), is one of the most popular Deep Purple songs among fans and has been performed live by Whitesnake, Jon Lord and Blackmore's Night.
The album was remastered and re-released in 2009, as a 35th Anniversary Edition, including the original album remastered along with some new mixes done by Glenn Hughes on disc one, and the whole album in the original 5.1 quad mix on disc two - DVD audio.

Deep Purple Lyrics
High Ball Shooter Well I´m a rock and roll preacher Not a Sunday school…
Hold On You're sweeter than the morning When the sun is shining down…
Holy Man Called to Madonna To give me a line She said boy what…
Lady Double Dealer Get outta my way I'm gettin' tired of you There ain't no…
Love Don't Mean A Thing If I work hard every day For my money If I work…
Soldier Of Fortune I have often told you stories about the way I lived…
Stormbringer Comin' out of nowhere Drivin' like rain Stormbringer dance O…
The Gypsy John San what you can La la Janette dance in sand What's…
You Can't Do It Right Have you ever thought of the feeling I get when I'm…
