‘Cyr’ is released on November 27 and was produced by Corgan. It features three quarters of the band’s original line-up: Corgan, guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder also contributed to the record.

Meanwhile, last month (October 22) Smashing Pumpkins announced a sequel album to their classic record ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’ and ‘Machina/The Machines Of God’.

The new 33-track record was announced to commemorate ‘Mellon Collie…’’s 25th anniversary. In a YouTube video, Corgan shared more details of it, saying: “It’s kind of a rock opera. We feel like in many ways this completes the circle on everything we started and weren’t able to finish at that time, so we’re very excited about [it].”






He also confirmed the new album would have a “conceptual base involving a single character”, like the 1995 and 2000 records.

Smashing Pumpkins also plan to hold a tour celebrating ‘Mellon Collie…’’s milestone once the coronavirus pandemic allows theme to do so. Corgan previously discussed his hopes to embark on a 25th anniversary tour for the record back in 2018.
