My Chemical Romance’s New Record Will Come in a Coffin… Just like Their Fans

Yesterday Kirby posted about the 13-year-old girl who killed herself. “Emo” is being blamed for the death, as she was “obsessed” with the band My Chemical Romance. And, as Kirby posted and as the Telegraph reported, “She had secretly chatted to ‘emo’ followers online all over the world, talking about death and the glamorisation of hanging and speaking about ‘the black parade’ - a place where ‘emos’ believe they go after they die.”

The Black Parade is, of course, from the My Chemical Romance record, a concept album based on a cancer patient who died and went to the Black Parade (you know, instead of going to heaven or hell or wherever).

So anyway today, following her death, the band announced details for their upcoming CD+DVD boxset called The Black Parade is Dead.

The special edition will be released with death certificates for each member and “Day of the Dead” masks. It’ll be packaged in a pinewood coffin.

Just like that 13-year old girl.
