My Chemical Romance Debuts Unreleased Song War Beneath Rain in Los Angeles

My Chemical Romance debuted a previously unreleased song, "War Beneath The Rain," during their Long Live The Black Parade tour at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium. The track, originating from sessions of a scrapped album titled The Paper Kingdom around 2012-2013, was dedicated by frontman Gerard Way to the family of late producer Doug McKean, who worked on the abandoned record before his death in 2022. Fans reacted with excitement and speculation about the potential release of the lost album, often referred to as MCR5, as the band continues their extensive North American tour with additional dates planned internationally. The performance followed a full playthrough of The Black Parade, with the unreleased song performed on a smaller B-stage, amplifying fan enthusiasm and social media buzz. The band also recently shared "The National Anthem of Draag" from the tour, hinting at further creative output. Special guests such as 100 gecs and Death Cab For Cutie are featured on the tour, with My Chemical Romance headlining major festivals later in the year.
