The band was formed in Newark, New Jersey, and its name loosely translates as "my chemical romance".
My Chemical Romance was formed in New Jersey in September 2001 by lead singer Gerard Way and drummer Matt Pelissier, shortly after the attacks that month. Way watched the World Trade Center towers fall, an experience that affected him so deeply that he decided to form a band.
Way later said that "music was something I wanted to do secretly," and went on to write the song "Skylines and Turnstiles," expressing how he felt about the attacks. Shortly after the band formed, guitarist Ray Toro was recruited because Way was unable at the time to sing and play guitar simultaneously.
The band's first recordings were made in Pelissier's attic, where the songs "Our Lady of Sorrows" and "Cubicles" were recorded. The band calls these sessions "The Attic Demos". After hearing the demo and dropping out of college, Mikey Way decided to join the band.
Mikey, Gerard's younger brother, was also the one who suggested the band's name. While working at a Barnes & Noble bookstore, he was struck by the title of a book by Irvine Welsh: "Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance".
Early in their career, the band signed with the record label Eyeball Records, where they met Frank Iero, the lead singer and guitarist of Pencey Prep. After Pencey Prep broke up in 2002, Iero joined My Chemical Romance just days before the recording of their debut album. The original lineup was Gerard, Mikey, Toro and Pelissier, and Iero joined them later.
The band recorded its debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, just three months after forming, and it was released in 2002 on Eyeball Records. It was produced by Geoff Rickly (Geoff Rickly), lead singer of Thursday (Thursday), whom the band members had befriended while performing in New Jersey.
The album produced two singles: "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us" and "Headfirst for Halos". The band offered its songs as free downloads on PureVolume and the social network MySpace (MySpace), where it built its first fanbase.
The band's current lineup features lead vocalist Gerard Way, lead guitarist Ray Toro, rhythm guitarist Frank Iero, and bassist Mikey Way. My Chemical Romance is considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 2000s and a leading name in the emo and pop-punk genres, although the band rejects the emo label.
After their debut, My Chemical Romance moved to Reprise Records, where they released Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in 2004 and The Black Parade in 2006. The success of The Black Parade surpassed that of the band's previous albums.
The band announced its deal with Reprise on its website in 2003. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, released in June 2004, was the band's major-label debut, and three singles were released from it: "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", "Helena" and "The Ghost of You". Shortly after the album's release, drummer Bob Bryar (Bob Bryar) replaced Pelissier. The album was a commercial success and went platinum just over a year after its release.
The Black Parade, released in 2006, is a rock opera concept album that achieved major commercial success. Its lead single, "Welcome to the Black Parade", reached the top of the UK Singles Chart.
The band's fourth studio album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, was released in 2010. Bryar left the band before the album's release, and in 2012 keyboardist James Dewees (James Dewees) joined them on tour. In 2012 and 2013, the band released a series of singles recorded in 2009, collectively titled Conventional Weapons.
In 2013, My Chemical Romance announced their breakup, although they had previously discussed plans for a fifth studio album. In October 2019, the band announced their reunion, and the reunion show took place in December 2019 in Los Angeles.
In 2014, after the breakup, the greatest hits album May Death Never Stop You was released. In 2016, a 10th-anniversary reissue of The Black Parade was released under the title The Black Parade/Living with Ghosts.
In January 2020, the band announced additional shows and a tour, which was postponed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and began in 2022. The reunion tour ran throughout 2022 and ended in early 2023. In May 2022, the band released "The Foundations of Decay", their first new release in eight years.
