Deep Purple will release a new studio album named SPLAT! on July 3.
According to a press release announcing the album, SPLAT! is based on a concept from singer Ian Gillan: "Rather than treating the end [of the world] as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation. SPLAT! explores the end of humanity not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence."
Musically, Gillan says the album revisits Deep Purple's golden era: “I have to say, now we are very much back in with material that is compatible with ‘Highway Star’, ‘Smoke on the Water’, ‘Lazy’ – the dynamics, the balance, and the fun of the music we made from ‘69 to ‘73.”
