Deep Purple returns with Splat!, their 24th studio album, released in 2026 on Ear Music. The record marks a reinvigorated chapter for the legendary rock band, with guitarist Simon McBride bringing a fresh spark of energy that has drawn comparisons to the band's classic 1970s sound. It stands as a bold addition to one of rock music's most enduring catalogs.
Across 13 tightly constructed tracks, Splat! showcases the full range of Deep Purple's musical identity — from hard-driving rock to blues, jazz, and boogie-infused grooves. Don Airey's keyboards and McBride's guitar trade dynamic interplay throughout, while Ian Gillan delivers his trademark vivid lyricism and Ian Paice anchors everything with masterful rhythmic command. The album is a confident, wide-ranging statement from a band that sounds anything but past its prime.
