Though no official announcement was made regarding the album title or release date, Way reassured fans that they hope to create more music when circumstances permit.
The band continues to perform globally, currently on their Long Live the Black Parade tour, and have plans for a 20th-anniversary edition of The Black Parade, including new songs and artwork.
