Despite failing to deny internet-led hiatus
rumours just a view months ago, 30
Seconds to Mars are set to record a fourth album they are currently working
on.
After tremendous fan and chart success
with 2009’s global hit ‘This is War’,
along with a Guinness World Record
for the longest tour period, with a whopping 300 show consecutively, this
record is set to be a little different…

Frontman and Echelon chief, Jared Leto informed
fans that the forthcoming record will be a “dramatic departure from the past”
and hopes it will be “very orchestral, narrative, interactive and even more
electronic than previous projects.” Never one to understate, Leto implies fans can hope to hear the
familiar Mars sound they know and
love, with a little something new thrown in.
With the
Killers’ and U2’s producer Steve
Lilywhite, amongst others, the band will mainly lay tracks down in
Hollywood, as well as various places in Europe, India, Africa and the
Californian Desert. Although, Perez
Hilton has reported 30 Seconds to
Mars have already written fifty potential songs. No date has been set for
the yet-to-be-named album as yet.
The threesome will relaunch The Summit (with a 2.0 version); a Facebook and Twitter app, providing insight into the record’s formation and
completion. After the $9.99 in-studio interactive digital experience, with an
intimate live performance, a preview of the band’s live tour documentary, ARTEFACT, and a discussion with 30 Seconds to Mars, the Echelon-driven hype is crazier than
ever. Leto explained, “We wanted to broadcast
the show in a really high-quality social way, but when we started to look
around, there wasn’t really a company out there that we could use to share this
event.” Nothing to do with the extra cash then?

Mars have recently set up an International
Centre for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences of Sound (ICAASS) to nurture up-and-coming talents,
and are said to be “very excited” about this project, and their up-and-coming
record.
