Last night (September 20th) saw The Smashing Pumpkins give a live debut to two new tracks from their upcoming 33-song rock opera “Atum“. In addition to the newly unveiled first single “Beguiled“, the diamond-certified alternative rock band also delivered their first live performance of their song “Empires“. Both of those tracks are taken from Act 2 of “Atum” and were performed live at the band’s hometown show at The Metro in Chicago, IL.
Audio of “Empires” from that set has since made its way online below. The rollout of the “Atum” will be a somewhat complicated affair. New tracks will first be unveiled frequently via vocalist/guitarist William Patrick Corgan‘s new podcast series in chronological order.
Following in the wake of the podcast reveals, each of the album’s 3 acts will be released digitally in individual portions. Act 1 will be out on November 15th. Act 2 will follow on January 31st, 2023, and the entire album will emerge on April 21st. For more details, head here.
