The song captures the group during the touring period surrounding its landmark 2006 album. Although fans previously encountered the performance in the band’s 2008 concert film “The Black Parade Is Dead!,” it was presented without an official song title and had not been widely available as a standalone release. The newly shared version brings the recording to streaming platforms under its recognized title.

The expanded anniversary collection will feature the original album alongside six bonus tracks, including three recordings from the Hoboken show and three previously released B-sides. The release marks two decades since “The Black Parade,” which helped establish My Chemical Romance as one of the defining acts of the 2000s emo and alternative rock scene.

The release also precedes the band’s five-show run at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, beginning Oct. 21 and concluding with a Halloween performance on Oct. 31. The concerts will close the U.S. leg of the group’s “Long Live The Black Parade” anniversary tour.

The newest single to drop from Father John, X-panded Universe, is very reminiscent of the same FJM we have always known and loved. The melodious, ominous piano, and strings really pull you into his world.

This single is the 3rd one FJM has dropped in 2026.
