The Book of Taliesyn is the second studio album by British band Deep Purple.

Many reviewers believe that on this album the band demonstrated greater maturity and complexity of musical compositions than on the previous one.

Five tracks out of seven were placed on the Billboard Hot100 in the middle of the hundred.

Each of the band members is fighting their own evil, which has been hindering them from the very beginning, only for them to stand out and wreak havoc in another part of the globe.
