¡Venganza!
The title here is ¡Venganza!, but the album the facts describe is The Black Parade Is Dead!, so I'll go with what the facts say: this is a live release from My Chemical Romance, out through Reprise Records in 2008. Wait, the release date must be given exactly as written under "Released", which is 2008.
The Black Parade Is Dead! arrived in 2008 on Reprise Records as a CD and DVD package, capturing the band on the Black Parade World Tour behind their third studio album, The Black Parade (2006). One part documents the finale of the band's "Black Parade" alter-ego at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, playing that album in full. The other comes from a later show at Maxwell's in Hoboken, New Jersey, with a looser set drawing on The Black Parade and earlier records, plus a previously unreleased song Gerard Way later named "Someone Out There Loves You".
Reviews were positive. Many saw it as a treat for fans and the band at full strength, though some felt the concept was overdone and the live shows couldn't match the studio original. It has gone gold in the US, UK and New Zealand.
