Let me mention to you my new band: Blind Golem. We're very much influenced by Purple, Heep, etc. Our first album is out and it also features the late Ken Hensley on one track. Cover art by the great Rodney Matthews.
First single: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RadJxg9LVDM

Re: Purple inspired bands
A recent discovery that perfectly fits the topic: Stormbringer, from Germany, one album (I think) in 1983. Great great stuff, of course nothing original but inspired and credible. Actually, closer to 80's Rainbow and early Europe than Purple but very enjoyable. Anybody knows a bit more about them? There are several bands with this name so it's hard to confuse them (there's even one featuring Mark Zyk, who later joined Demon's Eye).
I mean this album:

Seems that it was their only album. Angi Schiliro on guitars (China, Paganini, Kingdom Come) is the only better known name.

Right! On his FB page he wrote that at the time they had a second album almost finished and ready to go but a few members got caught in other projects and the band imploded.

Re: Purple inspired bands
New discovery: Fatal Fusion, from Norway. 4 albums, showing also some prog tendencies (think Camel, Marillion) but with a strong Purple feel throughout. A rock from the debut album:
