My Chemical Romance marches out "Black Parade" video

My Chemical Romance will premiere the video for its new single, "Welcome To The Black Parade," on Wednesday, September 29th on TV. The song comes off the band's new album, The Black Parade, which arrives on October 24th. Aside from the title, singer Gerard Way explained why the image of the "black parade" is an important part of the CD: "The 'black parade' is also the very basic premise of the record, which is, I'd like to think that when you die, death comes for you however you want, and I feel that it's your strongest memory. And for this particular character in this record, called the Patient, his strongest memory is of being a child and his father's taking him to this parade. So when death comes for him, it comes in the form of a black parade."

"Welcome To The Black Parade" will air every hour on MTV2, and will be shown between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. ET on MTV.

My Chemical Romance was forced to cancel two shows earlier this month when drummer Bob Bryar was briefly hospitalized for complications from an injury he suffered during the August video shoot.

The New Jersey-based band has yet to announce tour plans in support of The Black Parade.
