Deep Purple - Splat! (Boxset)

Facts The limited Deep Purple SPLAT! Box Set contains a 2LP Gatefold on 180g vinyl, a 12-page vinyl-sized booklet, a CD Digisleeve, three exclusive 10-inch vinyl editions featuring live recordings from the Deep Purple Tour 2024, and an exclusive 7-inch single featuring the bonus track “GUINNESIS", which is not included on the studio album and is available exclusively in the box set.

Once again, the band has teamed up with renowned producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper). Together, they have crafted an album that draws on the sound and attitude that has always set Deep Purple apart from the rest.

SPLAT! is the heaviest Deep Purple album in many years, with the band playing together in the studio – the way Deep Purple have always recorded.

Ian Gillan: “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."

At the heart of SPLAT! is an idea conceived by Ian Gillan. Rather than treating the end 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.
