Deep Purple’s new single “Splat!” is out today on all streaming and download platforms and the band has put out a video for the latest track. It’s the title track off Deep Purple’s latest album, released last summer.
“Splat!” is the grand finale of the band’s current studio album and brings its central idea full circle. At the heart of “Splat!” the album 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!” the album 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.
