Issue #313 (Awards 2024 - My Chemical Romance)

My Chemical Romance’s ‘The Black Parade’ wins the first ever Rock Sound Inspiration Award!

With their ambitious and brutally emotional third studio album, MCR created a work of art with an influence and reach extending far beyond the confines of their scene, their distinctive visual aesthetic and varied mix of musical styles shaking the grounds of pop culture itself. As the generation-defining record turns 18 years old, we explore how they successfully reinvented the album for a celebratory headline performance at When We Were Young Festival alongside exclusive, never before seen photos from the show.
