My Chemical Romance<\/a> concluded the North American leg of their\u00a02026 Black Parade Tour on Saturday (Sept. 12) at the Alamodome in San Antonio with a bombshell announcement (or at least a suggestion<\/em> of an announcement): They do, indeed, want to make a new album.<\/p>\n \u201cJust know that we\u2019ve kind of really always wanted to make another record,\u201d lead singer Gerard Way<\/a> told the audience. \u201cSo we hope that life allows us to do that. \u2018Cause honestly, you guys kept us alive so long. You guys deserve another record.\u201d<\/p>\n Way tempered his statement about the long-rumored “MCR5” with a caveat: \u201cWe don\u2019t know when it\u2019ll be. But it\u2019ll be awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n My Chemical Romance have not released a studio album since 2010\u2019s Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys<\/em>. They released the Conventional Weapons<\/em> compilation, comprising 10 songs released across five two-song singles, in 2013, shortly before breaking up.<\/p>\n MCR then closed their two-hour-and-45-minute show with \u201cThe Foundations of Decay,\u201d the scorching comeback single they released in May 2022. Way dedicated the song to its co-producer Doug McKean, who died<\/a> of a brain hemorrhage in June 2022.<\/p>\n Even amid the enormous stadium spectacle of MCR\u2019s Black Parade Tour (which began in 2025 under the “Long Live” The Black Parade moniker), Saturday\u2019s show delivered a new level of off-the-wall\u00a0pomp and circumstance.<\/p>\n While the band typically performs for the Grand Immortal Dictator, leader of the tour\u2019s fictional world, Draag, Way broke with tradition in San Antonio and beheaded a prop version of the leader onstage. Later, he brandished the Grand Immortal Dictator\u2019s severed head and held an election to see who would become the new leader of Draag. Unsurprisingly, Way defeated the\u00a0headless leader in a landslide victory and became the new Grand Immortal Dictator.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Everything You Need to Know About My Chemical Romance’s Fictional World, Draag<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n MCR delivered another big surprise during \u201cMama,\u201d welcoming\u00a0King Diamond<\/a>\u00a0to the stage. The metal legend duetted with the band, lending his signature falsetto to the track, and then \u201cknighted\u201d all of the members.<\/p>\n My Chemical Romance still have several tour dates booked through the end of the year, including a handful of Hollywood Bowl shows in late October<\/a> (culminating in a Halloween date) and an Asian tour leg in November.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not the last Long Live show but it\u2019s kind of the last proper stadium\u00a0Long Live thing,\u201d Way told the audience on Saturday. \u201cWe have some other stuff, and we\u2019ve got Southeast Asia, but anyway, it\u2019s been a fucking magical journey.\u201d<\/p>\n 1. “Over Fields (The National Anthem of Draag)” As you wait patiently for MCR5, see how we’ve ranked the rest of My Chemical Romance’s discography below:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The emo giants have only released four albums, and they’re all great.
