My Chemical Romance have completed recording their new album.

The band worked with producer Brendan O'Brien on the follow up to 2006's The Black Parade. Frontman Gerard Way spoke to NME about the album:

"We just finished the album so we're excited about that. It's the second attempt at the album and we're really happy with it. I don't know that people want to make statements right now. I can't comment on anybody else's record but I certainly feel something in the air, like, people just want the truth and they don't need a big story."

A release date has not been announced, but the album is expected before the end of the year.
