Deep Purple - Splat!

Splat! is the twenty-fourth studio album by British hard rock band Deep Purple, released in July 2026 via earMusic.

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.”

The limited Deep Purple SPLAT! 2LP Gatefold is pressed on purple 180g vinyl, features 13 brand-new tracks, includes a 12-page LP-sized booklet available exclusively with the first pressing, and comes in inside-out cardboard packaging with embossed detailing, spot varnish, and sand varnish.

This double album 2LP record set is a limited edition first pressing on 180 gram purple coloured vinyl at 45 RPM housed in an embossed gatefold sleeve with spot varnish and sand varnish, printed inner sleeves and 12 page LP sized booklet, pressed in Germany via earMusic.
