Smashing Pumpkins Announce 13th Studio Album, ‘Aghori Mhori Mei’

Smashing Pumpkins announced the release date for their upcoming 13th studio album, 'Aghori Mhori Mei,' which is due out in August.

The Billy Corgan-led group revealed on Friday (July 19) that the 10-track Aghori Mhori Mei will drop on August 2 as the follow-up to last year’s three-act rock opera, ATUM. Not so much in looking backwards with sentimentality but rather as a means to move forward; to see if in the balance of success and failure that our ways of making music circa 1990-1996 would still inspire something revelatory.” Following the release of the the two-plus hour, 33-song ATUM — which Corgan posited as a sequel to the band’s 1995 classic double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/The Machines of God — the release says Corgan went back into the studio to write, produce and record the new album with a track list featuring a number of provocative song titles, including: “Pentagrams,” “War Dreams of Itself” and “Goeth the Fall.”
