Deep Purple – Splat! (CD)
Product Details
Deep Purple have been swinging between hard rock immortality and restless reinvention since "Smoke on the Water" lodged itself permanently in the DNA of anyone who ever picked up a guitar. The Mark VIII lineup, anchored by Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, and Ian Paice, represents one of the longest-running configurations in the band's notoriously shifting history, and their continued willingness to chase new ideas rather than coast on catalog is what keeps this band worth following.
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."
