Deep Purple’s new single “Splat!”
is out on all streaming and download platforms.
The official music video premiered on the earMUSIC YouTube channel.
“Splat!” is the title track and grand finale of the band’s current studio album SPLAT! – and brings its central idea full circle. At the heart of SPLAT! is a concept conceived by singer Ian Gillan: Rather than treating the end as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation — a metamorphosis beyond physical existence.
Splat! follows “Arrogant Boy,” “Diablob,” and “Guilt Trippin,'” the three singles that preceded the release of SPLAT! on July 3. Recorded with producer Bob Ezrin, Deep Purple’s 24th studio album follows the band’s previous four studio albums, all of which reached Number 1 in multiple countries.
Collectors can look forward to a special physical release. SPLAT! is now available for pre-order on limited CD Digisleeve (strictly limited to 3,000 copies) and limited 12-inch crystal clear vinyl (180g, 45 rpm, strictly limited to 2,500 copies), featuring two previously unreleased live recordings captured at Montreux Jazz Festival on July 13: “Scriblin’ Gib’rish” from SPLAT! and “Guinnesis,” the bonus track available only in the SPLAT! box set.
