The Smashing Pumpkins will release their 13th studio album, the 10-track Aghori Mhori Mei, on August 2. Aghori Mhori Mei is the follow-up to last year’s three-act rock opera, ATUM. The two-plus hour, 33-song ATUM (considered a sequel to the band’s 1995 classic double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/The Machines of God) saw Corgan going back into the studio to write, produce and record.

Frontman Billy Corgan shared in a statement: “In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, ‘you can’t go home again’, which I have found personally to be true in form but thought well, what if we tried anyway? 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.”

The Pumpkins also just announced a run of fall tour dates in South and Latin America, marking their first venture south in almost a decade. In addition, the band is currently on the road opening for Green Day, as well as headlining dates across the U.S. through a September 28 gig at Petco Park in San Diego; the Latin American tour kicks off on November 1 in Brasilia, Brazil.
