My Chemical Romance Needed to be Missed Again
One of the the coolest news to come out of the music/movie world last year was that My Chemical Romance would be recording the first single to be released from The Watchmen soundtrack, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Desolation Row” (featured in the trailer). Very dope news–but even better, the group is at work on its next studio album. Most artist might take two and a half years off, and fans hardly miss them from their record store shelves, but MCR’s devoted fan base has been banging on forum doors, demanding new material, seemingly since the group’s 2006 release The Black Parade.
So–the reason for the wait? There’s a whole lot of life experience in two and a half years, and as we know life imitates art.
“It’s hard to say at this point, but musically, how Black Parade tapped into the glam, classic rock of Queen and Ziggy Stardust, this taps into something different — not punk, but maybe in its proto sense. The aesthetic — it is extremely different, and it is more stripped-down too. When we get a chance, we’re going to get together and do some demos and start rolling. But we’re going to take it slow. I feel like we needed to be away for a while. People need to kind of miss us because there was a point in the last two-and-a-half years where you could have seen us at least once a month if you wanted,” recently married front man Gerard Way tells MTV
