I feel like Jared Leto, and 30 Second To Mars have one goal, and that is to blow our collective minds.
There is a short film based on the 30STM’s track “Kings and Queens” on it’s way, but this trailer for it just hit YouTube. It looks both fascinating and terrifying, and the art direction looks incredible.
Following up on their incredibly successful sophomore release, A Beautiful Lie, multi-platinum rock band Thirty Seconds To Mars are hard at work on their highly anticipated upcoming record, THIS IS WAR (EMI’s Virgin Records) set to hit on November 24. The album was produced by Flood (U2, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails), Steve Lillywhite (The Rolling Stones, U2) and Thirty Seconds To Mars. First single “Kings and Queens” at modern rock radio early next month. (more…)
How cool is this? 30STM has just posted on their official site that they’re taking photos from fans for inclusion within the artwork for their upcoming album. They’re asking that all submissions be made on a Flickr group that they’ve set up, so go set yourself up a free account if you don’t have one already.
And hop to it as the deadline for uploads is June 14th at 5pm PST! Don’t forget to drop by their site as well.
30 SECONDS TO MARS SIGN NEW WORLDWIDE DEAL WITH EMI MUSIC’S VIRGIN RECORDS
EMI Music’s Virgin Records is pleased to announce that it has signed a new worldwide deal with Los Angeles rock band 30 Seconds to Mars.
30 Seconds to Mars, fronted by vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Jared Leto, is currently in the studio in Los Angeles recording their third album with acclaimed producer Flood, known for his work with U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, and Smashing Pumpkins. Due this fall, the as-yet-untitled album is the follow-up to 2005’s platinum-selling A Beautiful Lie, which sold more than three million albums and singles worldwide and spawned two Top 10 Modern Rock singles, “From Yesterday” and “The Kill.” The latter set a radio record for the longest-running hit in the history of Modern Rock radio play when it remained on the national airplay chart for more than 50 weeks following its No. 3 peak in 2006. “From Yesterday” was the band’s first No. 1 at the format. Its epic video was the first American music video ever shot in the People’s Republic of China. (more…)
