A few months ago The Smashing Pumpkins announced their new 33-song album ATUM: A Rock Opera In Three Acts. ATUM is the band’s sequel to their previous albums, 1995’s Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/The Machines Of God.

The three-act opera album will be released next April and because album is in three acts, The Smashing Pumpkins will be releasing them one piece at a time. Plus the band has already released the first single “Beguiled” and now the whole first act of the album is out on streaming services. The band has released 11 songs which is 40 minutes of new music.
