My Chemical Romance are set to return to the studio and begin work on the follow-up to 2010's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys,
though they're keeping details of the project close to whatever kind of
vest (Studded? Bandolier-ed? DayGlo?) they're wearing these days.
That's according to guitarist Frank Iero, who revealed the info earlier this week in an interview with New Jersey's The Aquarian Weekly
(MCR are one of the headliners at this weekend's Bamboozle fest in
Asbury Park, New Jersey, replacing Blink-182) but was tight-lipped about
pretty much everything else.
"It's going really well, I'm really
excited," Iero said of the new album. "I can't wait to start tracking. I
think we're maybe a month away from the record button lighting up."
When
asked what fans can expect on the new album (perhaps another conceptual
turn?), Iero jokingly responded, "No f---ing way." He provided a
similar answer when asked when the album would be hitting stores, though
he did say that MCR — who have built their own studio for the new album — will once again working with longtime engineer Doug McKean.
"Doug
is a special human being. He's a f---ing genius when it comes to making
records and he's f---ing rotten, just like us," Iero said. "When you
find someone just as rotten as you are, you shouldn't let them go."
And
while Iero wasn't exactly forthcoming with details about My Chem's new
album, he had no problem praising new drummer Jarrod Alexander (who will
play on the upcoming disc) or taking shots at former kit-minder Michael
Pedicone, whom the band fired in 2011 amid accusations of theft.
"Jarrod
is a rad guy and a fantastic player. It's been really fun making music
with him these past few months. He loves coffee and hitting drums
super-hard," Iero said. "And the fact that he's not a thieving piece of
garbage is a breath of fresh air."
