Splat!: a new chapter for Deep Purple

With Splat!, Deep Purple add a contemporary studio album to their historic catalogue rather than simply looking back at their legacy. Bob Ezrin returns as producer for a recording shaped by the band playing together, bringing the interaction and immediacy of the performances to the foreground.

The album's central concept begins with an idea by Ian Gillan: the end of humanity becomes a starting point for exploring transformation and a passage beyond purely physical existence. The theme gives the record a distinct narrative framework while remaining rooted in Deep Purple's recognisable rock language.

180g audiophile vinyl at 45 RPM

For listeners focused on the analog format, the 2LP editions combine 180g audiophile-grade vinyl, 45 RPM playback and premium physical presentation. The three versions offer a choice of black vinyl, limited purple vinyl or limited transparent yellow vinyl.

The Limited Box Set expands the physical edition with exclusive live material and collectible content, adding a CD, three 10-inch records and a box-only 7-inch single to the album's double LP.
