"I of the Mourning" belongs to Machina/The Machines of God, the Smashing Pumpkins' fifth studio album, a Virgin Records concept piece that brought drummer Jimmy Chamberlin back into the fold and was meant to be the band's last official LP before they split. Billy Corgan wrote it by himself and produced it with Flood, the pair mixing it alongside Alan Moulder, while Howard Willing handled the recording.
The album followed the electronic and industrial turns of Adore and divided the fan base all over again, but the band that toured it, with Chamberlin and former Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur, dragged the songs back toward guitar-heavy hard rock on stage.
