Seminal post-hard-core band Thursday has returned with a brand-new video, "Magnets Caught In A Metal Heart," off their critically sixth album, No Devolución. It's a more pensive, subdued song, and the ethereal, atmospheric video follows suit.

The inspiration behind the paper-cut-themed video was the band's No Devolución album art, created by Mia Pearlman. According to Spin.com, Thursday filmed scenes in front of a green screen in New Jersey while directors Davy and Kristin McGuire directed the band over Skype. Singer Geoff Rickly let the directors develop their own concept for the video, and they came back with stunningly animated paper planes and trains, a gothic cityscape, and a noir treatment that totally captivates and matches the song's ominous tone note for note.

When you get a few minutes to interview My Chemical Romance, you want to cover as much ground as possible. So that's what we did in this exclusive Buzzworthy interview.

Now since it's nearly Christmas in Harlem, Hollis and everywhere else, we thought we'd ask My Chemical Romance for some gift-giving tips. Guitarist Frank Iero has been reading "The Book Thief" and thinks it would make a good present. Bassist Mikey Way would give the deluxe reissue of Weezer's Pinkerton. We're partial, however, to guitarist Ray Toro's idea of giving someone "Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom," which is crazy underrated and features this guy.

The band members also talk about their new album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and the thinking behind the album's concept. They also touch on their own origins in the New Jersey punk and hard-core scene and coming up with bands like Thursday, Saves The Day, and Midtown. Finally, My Chemical Romance speculate on Mikey making an appearance on the critically acclaimed show, "Breaking Bad." Meth-cooking jokes (JUST a joke!) and much merry are made!

It's the question on the tip of everyone's tongue. No, not, "How will Lost end?" It's, "What happened to Thursday?!"

You remember Geoff Rickly and the boys, right? After the success of their Full Collapse album, they were supposed to be emo's big hope, dragging the sub-genre, kicking and screaming (naturally), into the arena to stay.

Things didn't go according to plan, Thursday didn't become the American Radiohead, and the New Jersey band wound up splitting with their major label and going underground (again). But their true-blue fans held on, and so did Thursday, which brings us to "Circuits Of Fever" (from their forthcoming Common Existence album). It's an impressionistic video for a rather shoe-gazer-ish song. The swirling atmospherics match the flashing imagery, and the rhythm is perfectly synced with the random pieces of machinery featured in the video. Welcome back, dudes!
