Ahead of beginning their stadium tour with Green Day, Rancid, and The Linda Lindas (new guitarist included), The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a new album. Aghori Mhori Mei is due out on August 2, and you can see the cover art and tracklist below. It follows last year’s ATMU: A Rock Opera in Three Acts, and Billy Corgan says, “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.” No new single yet, but stay tuned.

LAMB OF GOD guitarist Mark Morton and MASTODON singer-bassist Troy Sanders are featured in Heavy Consequence's "Two For The Road" series in which two artists touring together chat about playing shows, life backstage, and more. Regarding the fact that SLAYER guitarist Kerry King's new eponymous band will serve as the support act for LAMB OF GOD and MASTODON's co-headlining North American "Ashes Of Leviathan" tour, Mark said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "It speaks to the character of Kerry King, a legend in this game. [I have the] utmost respect [for him]. [He was] part of some of the greatest metal songs in history. SLAYER [was] absolutely formative in my understanding and my love for metal. And SLAYER has taken LAMB OF GOD out on multiple occasions, MASTODON out on multiple occasions, at some point together. And so now SLAYER is defunct or on hiatus, whatever it is that they're doing, or not doing. I don't know how to characterize that, but they've not been around, they've not been actively working."
