THE BLACK PARADE.....

The Black Parade — which also happens to be the name of the New Jersey band's alter ego — will have 13 tracks when it hits stores next month, including "The End.," "The Sharpest Lives" and the album's lead-off single, "Welcome to the Black Parade."
...................

Last month, in a staged news conference posted on the band's Web site, Way said The Black Parade "was a really difficult record to make. And there was a certain point where it was so dark for us that it felt like we needed to become much more than brothers. We had to be there for each other in many more ways and we also needed to become a new band. Normally, a band says that every time they make a record. In some ways, they become a new band. But we really did it this time and became a different band. Make no mistake — we are My Chemical Romance still. It's just our alter ego for this record."

But "The Black Parade" is much more than just an alter ego — Way elaborated that the phrase also serves as the morose record's thematic inspiration. " 'The Black Parade' is the very basic premise of the record, which is when you die, I'd like to think that death comes for you however you want," he explained. "And I feel that it's your strongest memory, either from childhood or adulthood, and for this particular character in this record, his strongest memory is of being a child and his father is taking him to this parade. So when death comes for him, it comes in the form of a black parade."
