English legendary hard rock titans DEEP PURPLE have
their 24th album, titled SPLAT! out. Order info here

Press info: At the heart, SPLAT! is an idea conceived by Gillan. Rather than treating the end as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation. It explores the end of humanity
not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence.

Ian Gillan (vocalist): “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. 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.” ”

MOJO Magazine (British music monthly): “Producer Bob Ezrin has turned up
the group’s Deep Purple-ness without lapsing into self-parody. Most of the songs
here crack along at a furious pace.”

TUTV: No expiration date for Deep Purple, who score here a high-voltage,
hard-rocking piece de resistance. Yes, after more than 5 decades they still
sound the same, with all DP’s characteristics on all cylinders: jumbo tunes,
staggering orchestrations, symphonic organ vibrancy, old skool guitar solos
and Ian Gillan‘s still brobdingnagian vocals, but the all-around, non-stop
puissant forcefulness is timelessly strong.

Never change a winning formula. Headstrong hellraisers like Arrongant Boy,
Diabolo, The Only Horse In Town, Guilty Trippin’ and Sacred Land show us why
Deep Purple still is a fireball turbine.
