Deep Purple - SPLAT! (Master Tape)

SPLAT! is Deep Purple’s powerful new studio album, produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Kiss, Lou Reed). Rooted in the band’s classic DNA but driven by a fiercely contemporary energy, it is their hardest album in decades: heavy, direct, and recorded live in the studio.

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.
