Smashing Pumpkins Post New Song, ‘Tiberius’

‘Tiberius’ is the latest song from Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins have debuted a new song, “Tiberius,” which is the opening track on the group’s upcoming album, “Monuments to an Elegy.” “Tiberius” follows along the same character as the album’s first single, “Being Beige,” and sounds like classic Pumpkins with a grand, warm chorus and dramatic dynamics, while still taking the Pumpkins into a new era. The tune is currently streaming on YouTube.

“Tiberius” is the third song Billy Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins have released from “Monuments to an Elegy,” the others being “Being Beige” and “One and All.” Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee plays drums on the latter two tracks—an interesting collaboration that somehow works.

“Monuments to an Elegy,” which will arrive on Dec. 9, is the first of two upcoming albums from the Smashing Pumpkins. The other release, “Day and Night,” will arrive sometime in 2015.
