Today marks 54 years since Deep Purple launched Fireball, an album that still reverberates with untamed energy.

While the production was naive, it represents a pivotal moment on my path to Darkwave.
What does it mean for us to embrace the rough beginnings of our creative journeys, and how can those early efforts shape our artistic evolution?
