My Chemical Romance Working On New Album

My Chemical Romance are currently working on their next album, although the group have yet to decide on what direction they'll be taking.

"I was pretty inspired so I do have a collection of stuff that I've written since being off the road," frontman Gerard Way told BBC Newsbeat. "This is our second time getting together and we're going to start banging material together and see what happens."

"We haven't chosen a path yet. It's all over the map in terms of what's there. It's going to be less layered than 'The Black Parade' - I do expect it to be a little more raw."

"It's really nice to get a fresh perspective, we really needed to have that time off to live life and do some things and simply not have to tour or worry about making music."

Despite not knowing which direction to go in, My Chemical Romance intend to record the album rather quickly, as Gerard explains: "I'm hoping for something to happen in a very fast way, that feels very natural and that doesn't have a lot of noodling all over it."

"That's the goal, to get in there and have this rapid and visceral recording experience. To tour on it almost right away on it would be fun and not kind of drag it out like last time."
