The Smashing Pumpkins have shared a new song, Empires.
Driven by a huge, heavy guitar riff, it arrives ahead of the release of the third and final act of the band's rock opera album, 'ATUM', which is due out in full on May 5.
In January, they shared Act Two of the ambitious 33-song project, which followed Act One in November 2022. In March, they dropped the single Spellbinding.
The renowned alt rock grounp will kick off the Australian and New Zealand leg of The World Is A Vampire Tour tomorrow (April 15) with a show at Stuart Park in the city of Wollongong, New South Wales.
They'll embark on the North American run in May, joined by a variety of special guests, including Interpol, Stone Temple Pilots, and Rival Sons, as well as wrestlers from frontman Billy Corgan's National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), who are set to compete at a handful of shows. Tickets are on sale.
The Smashing Pumpkins' previous album was 2020's 'Cyr'.
