Frontman Ian Gillan commented:

“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 ’70s. 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. Deep Purple is in a great place right now.”

Futher details were also shared about the concept:

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