Here's How To Recreate Welcome To The Black Parade In Animal Crossing

The release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been an absolute blessing while everyone's stuck at home right now, not just providing a source of escapism amid the doom and gloom in the world, but also a source of entertainment for rock fans.

In other My Chem news, last week the band launched new Desert Screening Device face masks to help those affected by coronavirus.

“We are living in strange times, alienating times, scary times,” they said. “These masks were the brainchild of our beloved Lauren Valencia, who died before this madness, not of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the older evil that is cancer. We had these masks made to keep you dust-free in the desert, a show that never happened, never will, a protection that then seemed timeworn. And here we are, with these masks, as though Lauren was prescient or we were unknowingly waiting for the right time…”

You can pick up one of the face masks here.
