Oi oi… what’s occurring then?! Just when you thought the legends might ease off the gas, Deep Purple have kicked the door clean off its hinges and announced a brand new album that’s apparently heavier than a pint of steel-toe boots.
Say hello to SPLAT! — a 13-track monster landing this July, and by all accounts, it’s not here for a polite cup of tea. It’s here to flatten speakers, shake pint glasses, and wake the neighbours three streets over. 😈🍺
🎸 THE PURPLE MACHINE IS STILL RUNNING HOT
Let’s get one thing straight, butt — bands don’t just casually drop “heaviest album in decades” after over 50 years in the game unless they’ve got something spicy cooking.
And Deep Purple?
They’ve basically said:
“Yeah, we’ve still got riffs. Loads of them. Deal with it.”
This isn’t a nostalgia trip. This is a full-on riff assault from veterans who clearly still love making noise — and fair play, because the world needs more of that energy.
💿 SPLAT! TRACK LIST — PURE MADNESS
Right, strap in… because this track list is all over the shop in the best possible way:
- Arrogant Boy
- Diablo
- The Rider
- The Lunatic
- The Only Horse In Town 🐎 (already iconic, let’s be honest)
- Sacred Land
- The Beating Of Wings
- Guilt Trippin’
- Scriblin’ Gib’rish
- Jessica’s Bra 😂 (??? we need answers)
- Third Call
- My New Movie
- Splat!
Honestly… this reads like someone shook a jukebox, a cowboy film, and a pub argument into a blender — and we are HERE FOR IT. 🤘
🔥 WHAT’S THE VIBE THEN?
From what we’re hearing, SPLAT! leans into:
- Heavier riffs than recent releases
- Classic Purple groove but with a sharper edge
- A bit of weirdness (because… look at those titles 😂)
- Big, loud, unapologetic rock energy
Basically: this ain’t background music — this is “turn it up and annoy the entire street” material.
🍺 RIFF REPORT VERDICT
Deep Purple dropping a heavy album in 2026 is the musical equivalent of your grandad suddenly pulling off a stage dive and sticking the landing.
It’s chaotic.
It’s brilliant.
It’s exactly what rock ‘n’ roll should be.
If even half of these tracks hit as hard as the title suggests, we’re in for one hell of a summer soundtrack.
So yeah…
Get the beers in, get the speakers ready, and prepare for impact.
Because when SPLAT! lands…
👉 It’s not tapping politely — it’s kicking the door in. 🤘🔥
Are you buzzing for this one, or what, mun?
