Notorious rocker Billy Corgan’s newly resurrected prog-rock group the Smashing Pumpkins will come out with a new album in the next year, and it promises to be good.

Drummer Jimmy Chamberlin has posted updates regarding the album’s status on his MySpace page, reports MTV.

Chamberlin – apparently the only original member besides Corgan on board for the reunion – has posted enthusiastic reports that “things are on track for the future.”

“As some of you know, we are indeed creating music again — music that comes from a place so pure it will burn the lies off the very souls of those who try to discount it. We have arrived at a place in our lives where truth and honesty prevail and we are creating from that place. Things are sounding fantastic.”

In June 2005, Corgan placed an as in his hometown newspaper, the “Chicago Tribune,” asking for his former band mates to return to the group. It’s still unclear whether guitarist James Uha and bassist D’Arcy Wretzky are involved with the project as their relationship with Corgan is reportedly strained.
