Reprise Records’ My Chemical Romance is currently in the studio in Los Angeles working on their highly anticipated fourth studio album with veteran producer Brendan O’Brien. O’Brien is known for his work with Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, and many others.
The band began writing the songs in May 2008 – a week after they finished up more than a year of touring in support of their 2006 platinum-selling concept album The Black Parade, but frontman Gerard Way says things didn’t really come together until about six months later. He adds that the new album is the first one the band has recorded that is not centered on any one concept.
