Deep Purple return with their new studio album SPLAT!

Rather than simply preserving their legacy, Deep Purple continue to extend it, driven by the same spirit that defined their earliest work.

With SPLAT!, the band deliver their heaviest album in many years, recorded together in the studio the way Deep Purple have always recorded.

Once again produced by Bob Ezrin, the album draws on the sound and attitude that have always set Deep Purple apart.

At the heart of SPLAT! is an idea conceived by Ian Gillan: The album explores the end of humanity not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence.

Frontman Ian Gillan says: "Where we are now with this incarnation of Deep Purple feels very much like a very `now' version of Deep Purple as it was in the seventies."
