My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance (commonly abbreviated to MCR or My Chem) is an American alternative rock band formed in 2001 in Belleville, New Jersey. The band consists of five members: Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero, Ray Toro and Bob Bryar.

Studio albums released to date include: I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (2002), Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004), and The Black Parade (2006). Gerard Way commented that their next release would be less theatrical in scope, stating that “it’s not going to be hiding behind a veil of fiction or uniforms and makeup anymore.” Way has also stated that the next album will be “full of hate” and whilst it is early days yet, he has also said “Over the years that we’ve been hearing ourselves live and hearing us on records, we kind of prefer the live. There’s more of a garage feel and more energy. I’d like to capture some of that, finally. That’s the goal for the next one.”

My Chemical Romance were criticised by the coroner at the inquest into the death by hanging of a girl from Maidstone, Kent in the United Kingdom named Hannah Bond. The coroner expressed concern that they glamorized suicide and her apparent obsession with the band was said to be linked to her suicide. The inquest heard that Hannah had been part of a “self-harming cult” and had said she wanted to join other suicide victims in the “black parade”. The band sent their condolences to her family during their time of mourning, and went on to defend themselves by saying that they “are and always have been vocally anti-violence and anti-suicide” and “The message and theme of our album ‘The Black Parade’ is hope and courage. Our lyrics are about finding the strength to keep living through pain and hard times.”
