Former My Chemical Romance guitarist Ray Toro launches website, shares demos
Ray Toro, former guitarist of My Chemical Romance, is back!
Toro just launched a website, which prominently features an announcement that he will be entering the studio to record with producer Doug McKean (also the producer of Gerard Way's Hesitant Alien) next week. The site also includes two new demo clips and the song “Isn't That Something?” as well as his photography
Check out the new demo clips and his statement below and head to RayToro.com for more information.
“Welcome to my website. Over the past two years, I’ve stayed mostly silent about what I’ve been up to. It seems if you aren’t active on Twitter or Facebook you are considered erased, washed up dead on an endless shore of tweets, likes and favs. I am here to tell you I am not dead. In fact, I am very much alive.
The last two years has been a time of immense transition for me. I've said goodbye to the old friend that was MCR. I've spent my time learning how to write songs on my own, learning how to sing, and most importantly learning how to be a great father and husband. Becoming a father has taught me countless lessons about life and love. Hopes and dreams. Who I am, and who I want to be. Being a parent, you will see the best of yourself. And you will see the ugliest parts of yourself. My wife has been right by my side in this school of hard knocks. Through it all, she has taught me to look inside myself. To better myself. To believe in myself.
With all that said, I am pleased to announce I will be entering the studio next week with Doug McKean to track the first clutch of songs for my next project. I am beyond excited to share them with the world. I know that Doug will take my vision, and with the skill of a magician, help conjure it into reality. Throughout the process, I will be posting pictures, audio teasers, and behind the scenes video, so keep an eye on my Twitter feed and website for updates!
Thank you all for visiting. I do hope you stay awhile…”
