Watch: MCR's Gerard Way stuns fans with death metal feature on Frozen Soul single
Gerard Way has swapped emo for death metal on his new collaboration with Frozen Soul.
Gerard Way has taken an unexpected detour into the world of death metal, appearing on Frozen Soul’s punishing new single No Place Of Warmth.
The track shares its name with the Texas band’s forthcoming album, which lands on May 8, and marks their first full-length since 2023’s Glacial Domination.
The song’s bleak themes were outlined by frontman Chad Green, who described it as “about life at its coldest and the choice you have to let it consume you, or to use it to find warmth in a world that feels void of it. Life is always coming at you, and death doesn’t stop – you might slow it down, but it’s always coming – so you have to make the best out of it and march on.”
Green also opened up about how Way ended up on the track, recalling that the pair bonded a few years back.
He shared: “We met Gerard a couple of years ago and have become friends. I knew he had a love for metal, so I spun the idea to him about singing in a Frozen Soul song and he was stoked! Gerard is an amazing artist and musician whose creative vision has shaped generations and more to come.”
Way’s appearance arrives at a time when My Chemical Romance fans are already on high alert.
The band recently wiped their X account, fuelling theories that something new may be on the horizon.
They’re also gearing up for a huge run of Black Parade 20th anniversary shows across the UK, Europe and North America.
The tour begins on June 30 at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium. It includes three nights at Wembley Stadium in July, with Echo and The Bunnymen, Interpol, Joan Jett, Skunk Anansie, Sunny Day Real Estate and Mogwai among the support acts.
Their recent concerts have seen them perform The Black Parade in full, alongside deep cuts from the era and even an unreleased track, War Beneath The Rain, which they debuted in Los Angeles last summer.
