NEW DOUBLE LP (SIDE D ETCHED)
New sealed copy. 2022 reissue. Gatefold jacket.
A defining release of the 2000s, The Black Parade is My Chemical Romance’s ambitious third album and their creative high watermark. Framed as a rock opera, the album follows the story of “The Patient,” a man facing death from cancer, and unfolds in dramatic, theatrical fashion—fusing emo, alternative rock, glam, punk, and pop into a sweeping concept record.
Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day), the band recorded The Black Parade at the Paramour Mansion in Los Angeles, secluded and immersed in the intensity of the project. The process took its toll, particularly on bassist Mikey Way, whose struggles with anxiety and depression during the sessions deeply shaped the emotional weight of the material.
The album spawned multiple hit singles, including “Welcome to the Black Parade,” “Famous Last Words,” “I Don’t Love You,” and “Teenagers.” It debuted at No. 2 in both the U.S. and UK and has since been certified 4× Platinum in the U.S. and 3× Platinum in the UK. A decade later, it was reissued as The Black Parade / Living with Ghosts with a set of early demos and unreleased tracks.
Widely regarded as one of the most important emo records of all time, The Black Parade expanded the boundaries of the genre and left an enduring mark on fashion, alternative culture, and modern rock at large. Rolling Stone ranked it #361 in their 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
