DEEP PURPLE has released its new single “Guilt Trippin’” ahead of the July 3 release of the band’s new studio album SPLAT! via earMUSIC.

The new track opens with a subdued piano introduction before shifting into one of the album’s most energetic performances, highlighted by a standout vocal from Ian Gillan. According to the band, “Guilt Trippin’” imagines God and Charles Darwin sharing a drink in a pub while reflecting on how life on Earth has unfolded. The accompanying music video follows a fly and a sycamore-seed spaceship through the surreal world of SPLAT!.

“The song starts, and I’m in the studio. I don’t have any words for it yet,” Ian Gillan explains. “So I just start screaming. It was the pure joy of yelling it. I vowed when I was 40 that I’d stop screaming by the time I was 60. Now I’m looking back and thinking, ‘Whatever happened to that?’ So we’ll give it a go.”

Deep Purple, featuring Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride, is currently performing a series of European summer tour dates before launching the SPLAT! World Tour in North America.

SPLAT! will be available in multiple formats, including CD, vinyl, limited-edition colored vinyl, cassette and a deluxe box set. The box set includes the studio album on CD and 180-gram vinyl, three exclusive 10-inch live records from the band’s 2024 tour, an exclusive 7-inch single featuring the bonus track “Guinnesis,” and a 12-page booklet. Fans will also have access to exclusive merchandise through the band’s official store, including a picture disc edition, a limited signed canvas restricted to 199 copies worldwide, and additional apparel.

SPLAT! will be released on July 3.

Two Shell! So confusing! Last week, the pranksterish London dance duo announced their upcoming album Infinity Now, which has some truly ugly-beautiful Y2K-ass cover art. They’d already released a bunch of singles earlier in the year, and they added the giddy, ultra-catchy “Thing About You” to the rollout. That all makes sense. Except now Two Shell have released an out-of-nowhere EP called Infinite Now+, which has a title that looks like a mysterious new streaming app that would suddenly appear on my Roku homescreen overnight, and it’s got five tracks that aren’t on the album.

On the debut LP from this shrewdly named Danish duo, the usually clear-cut boundary between apocalyptic, sludgy blackened death metal and dark urban trap-rap is thrillingly pulverized. Lines of musical convention are further blurred by disarmingly emotive and intimate vocal lines, and a vibrant sound picture heaving with glacial synths and hypnotic sonic details. At first, it might daunt and confuse those who like their boundaries clear-cut, but at the heart of GRADIENCE‘s brash and radical new sound is an authentic and heartwarming new friendship. In 2022, guitarist Jakob Lærke Harris and vocalist Gavin Mistry struck up an immediate creative rapport at a Copenhagen show for local deathcore heroes Cabal. Although from very different backgrounds – Harris a visual artist and musician playing in “a popcore band,” Mistry is a main player “in different hip-hop constellations” – they quickly found common ground in an area both were keen to explore.

Both men spent years working in various artistic collaborations, but GRADIENCE audibly generates real “planets aligning” energy. The tension and turbulence of Harris’ extreme metal growl finds counterintuitive new context alongside Mistry’s fierce rhythms and rhymes, further enlivened by the spontaneous crackle to the performances – not least drummer Frederik Kjelstrup Hansen’s and bassist Patrick Petersen’s hammering rhythm section. Also evident is an exploratory zeal and playful curiosity that dovetailed organically for both parties: “When we began writing together, we suddenly found songwriting to be straightforward,” says Jakob. “We knew from the get-go we wanted to write metal and do something completely new that we hadn’t heard before and at the same time write music we felt we needed to hear. That was our only goal and focus: writing music for ourselves.”

Although musically GRADIENCE is a beautifully balanced partnership, Mistry handles all lyrics, and song titles like “Vermin,” “Agony,” “Blame Me,” and “Deathwish” attest to the bleak darkness seething beneath the choice rhymes and voluble flow. “Lyrically, I tend to write from my own experiences and emotions,” Mistry affirms. “As an immigrant in Denmark, I have lived and received my fair share of pushback and challenges. From a young age, I have practiced writing about my thoughts and feelings – either as poetry or diary entries. It’s been a way for me to cope with the feeling of being alone and misunderstood – pretty much all my teen years. The album’s lyrical themes can be experienced as me reflecting on past, present and future truths and/or lies that have been important for me to deal with.”

“‘White Noise’ is one of our more experimental and unpredictable tracks on the album,” Mistry notes of their latest single. “The lyrics also reflect that same unpredictability; that I can find myself being confrontational and extroverted, but at the same time need solitude to cope with everything. The spoken word at the end is me reflecting on that introverted side of myself.“
