Smashing Pumpkins recently shared the official music video for their single "Empires."
"Empires" features on Smashing Pumpkins' upcoming album Atum, which is set to drop on May 5 and is a sequel to 1995's Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and 2000's Machina/Machine Of God.
Featuring 33-tracks in three acts, Atum was written and produced by Billy Corgan over the past four years. Twenty-two tracks have been released to date, as the band dropped Act Two in January and Act One in November 2022. Act 3 will come with a special edition boxset featuring all 33 album tracks plus 10 additional unreleased songs.
The alt rock band kicked off the Australian and New Zealand leg of The World Is A Vampire Tour on April 15 with a show at Stuart Park in the city of Wollongong, New South Wales.
