"My Chemical Romance 2022: We play guitar with fucking KNIVES," said Cassie Whitt, a journalist and My Chem archivist who sent multiple tweets about the track. On Thursday (May 12), My Chemical Romance released the song " The Foundations of Decay," a six-minute modern emo opus and the influential alt-rock band's first new music since 2014. Ardent My Chemical Romance fans displayed their shock and excitement surrounding the 6-minute tune.

A refuge from the rumble of the Twin Towers was found in the narrative mind of frontman Gerard Way and the band's crude guitar tracks, informed by local emo ...

Next year, the band will play a string of shows throughout Australia and New Zealand. The greatest hits album was released a year later, and aside from a tenth-anniversary reissue of their signature album The Black Parade in 2016, the band remained publicly inactive for six years. In October 2019, MCR told fans via Twitter that they'd privately reunited in 2017 "to see what would happen" and announced the Los Angeles reunion concert, which was then extended to a small planned tour throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. North American and European dates were announced in January 2020, but all of their planned shows were then postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

New Sounds: The reunited New Jersey band unleash a mountainous new beast of a tune in advance of summer live appearances.

But perhaps more important than what’s to come is the urgency of the now, and with it the news that My Chemical Romance’s fire still burns with a mighty fervor that can fill arenas and festivals. We’ve gotten a lot of expected news from My Chemical Romance lately, including a tour that hits Boston in September and headlining gigs at festivals like Firefly and Riot Fest. But yesterday (May 12) we received something relatively unexpected — a mountainous new beast of a six-minute song called “The Foundations of Decay,” which serves as their first new music in eight years. It follows a one-off single “Fake Your Death,” included on 2014 greatest hits album May Death Never Stop You, and could lead to the New Jersey band’s first new album since 2010.

Clocking in at six minutes, the song is decadent and intricately layered with MCR's familiar riffs and lead singer Gerard Way's hauntingly operatic vocals.

My Chemical Romance returns to the music scene with their new single “The Foundations of Decay.” The track is the band’s first official release since they broke up in 2013. The American tour starts in August at Oklahoma City with stops at Brooklyn, NY, Newark, NJ and Philadelphia, PA. MCR will be playing in New York for September 11. There’s a long buzzy buildup that opens the tune and suddenly crescendos into a climactic chorus:

Before you ask, yup, the new six-minute track, "The Foundations Of Decay," sounds like My Chemical Romance.

The band will also headline this year’s Riot Fest with The Misfits and Nine Inch Nails. The last new track from Gerard Way and the boys came in 2014. Gerard Way has a pretty good thing going with The Umbrella Academy, which Way created, so he’s probably pretty busy anyway.

But those who held out for a reunion were ecstatic when the band announced their reconciliation in 2019. MCR is also on the bill for Riot Fest and the first-ever When We Were Young festival.
