- More My Chemical Romance
My Chemical Romance have begun work on the follow-up to their 2006 album 'Welcome To The Black Parade'.
Frontman Gerard Way revealed that the group are working with lyrics written shortly after the conclusion of their last tour.
But he said the group had yet to decide on an exact musical direction to head in.
"I was pretty inspired so I do have a collection of stuff that I've written since being off the road," he told BBC Newsbeat.
"This is our second time getting together and we're going to start banging material together and see what happens."
He added: "We haven't chosen a path yet. It's all over the map in terms of what's there. It's going to be less layered than '...Black Parade' - I do expect it to be a little more raw.
"It's really nice to get a fresh perspective, we really needed to have that time off to live life and do some things and simply not have to tour or worry about making music."
Way said that now the group have reconvened in the studio they plan to record the album as quickly as possible.
"I'm hoping for something to happen in a very fast way, that feels very natural and that doesn't have a lot of noodling all over it,” he said.
"That's the goal, to get in there and have this rapid and visceral recording experience. To tour on it almost right away on it would be fun and not kind of drag it out like last time."
The band's new album, which has yet to be titled, is due for release at the end of 2009.
