My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has hinted that fans may have to wait a while for the band's next album, reports GIGWise.
Way said the whole group needed time to rest and “go live” before they returned to demo songs for the follow-up to 2006's 'The Black Parade'.
In an interview with MTV, Way, who also revealed he was planning a top secret project for DC comics, said the next album would be “very different” to its predecessor.
“
It's hard to say at this point, but musically, how Black Parade tapped into the glam, classic rock of Queen and Ziggy Stardust, this taps into something different — not punk, but maybe in its proto sense,”
Way said.
“The aesthetic — it is extremely different, and it is more stripped-down too. When we get a chance, we're going to get together and do some demos and start rolling.”
He said that the band were “going to take it slow”, however, adding: “People need to kind of miss us because there was a point in the last two-and-a-half years where you could have seen us at least once a month if you wanted."
Way also denied reports that claimed his new material was heading in a punk direction.
