Thirty Seconds To Mars

Written and recorded around the world from Europe, to India, to the band's studio in California, Thirty Seconds To Mars' latest album, Love Lust Faith + Dreams was produced by Jared Leto with previous collaborator Steve Lillywhite (U2, The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel) co-producing four of the 12 tracks. The album will be released May 21st via Virgin/Capitol Records.

Jared said, "This is more than an evolution, it's a brand new beginning. Creatively, we've gone to an entirely new place, which is exciting, unexpected, and incredibly inspiring."

In partnership with NASA, Thirty Seconds To Mars launched their first single, "Up In The Air," into space. They literally sent the very first copy to the International Space Station, and it got its ground breaking premiere from the astronauts in orbit 230 miles above Earth. Not content with stopping there, the artwork for the album was created by world-renowned artist Damien Hirst. 'Isonicotinic Acid Ethyl Ester' (2010 - 2011 Household gloss on canvas 99 x 147 in)' graces the cover of Love Lust Faith + Dreams, with another Hirst piece titled 'Monochromatic Sectors from Primary, Secondary & Tertiary Colour Ring, Dark Centre' (2012, Signwriting paint on canvas, 96 in.) on the CD itself.

Thirty Seconds To Mars is comprised of Jered Leto, Shannon Leto and Tomo Milicevic. They have sold over five million albums worldwide and the band's videos have more than 300 million views on YouTube.

Love Lust Faith + Dreams is the band's fourth studio record. It follows This Is War, which was hailed as "an artistic triumph" by Alternative Press, "a shimmering epic" by MTV.com, and contained the No. 1 Alternative radio hits "This Is War" and "Kings And Queens." During its two-year tour in support of This Is War, the band sold out arenas around the globe, playing over 311 shows in nearly 60 countries on six continents to three million people - and breaking the Guinness World Record(r) for the longest ever concert tour by a rock band.
