Thirty Seconds To Mars Unveils Plans For New Album, Webcasts Performance
4/24/2012
It’s no secret that Thirty Seconds To Mars are working on a new album. What wasn’t known is that the album is said to be more produced than This Is War. Frontman Jared Leto described it as “very orchestral, narrative, interactive and even more electronic than previous projects.”
Leto is once again at the helm along with iconic producers such as Steve Lillywhite, widely known for his work with U2 and The Killers.
The band has set up what they call ICAASS (International Center for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences of Sound), atop the Hollywood Hills. In addition to their studio or “Lab” as they call it, the band is incorporating recordings made at remote locations like India, Africa, Yosemite, the California desert and Europe.
In order to get fans fired up about the new album, the band will invite people for a sneak peak into their studio, April 27th for a live webcast. The digital presentation will include a live performance, preview of their live tour film, sneak peek of their documentary film ARTIFACT, and a discussion with the band.
The band plans to re-launch their successful event titled The Summit and plans to launch The Summit 2.0 as an app, allowing fans to be a part of the live recording for the album through Facebook, Twitter and a new technology platform called VyRT. Digital tickets are available for $9.99 until Wednesday, April 25th at VyRT.net/Mars.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Leto explained VyRT. “What we do is, we sell individual digital tickets to live events and broadcast them online in a social theater,” Leto explains. “I really started it because there was a very special show that we had towards the end of our two-and-a-half year tour. 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. So I started the company.”

30 Seconds To Mars Back In Studio
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
Last we heard from 30 Seconds to Mars, the band was battling rumors about a potential break while celebrating a record-setting
December live show in New York.
But after a few months of radio silence, not only are 30STM not taking time off, they're forging ahead with their fourth album. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, singer Jared Leto said the group's "excitedly working in the studio." The singer revealed that he's written 50 songs and is finalizing a list of producers for the as-yet-untitled effort, including M83's Morgan Kibby.
"She came by and was playing some synths and doing some programming," Leto said of a recent visit from the French electronica group's keyboard player. "She's a real talent. We're working with some interesting people." Leto is once again producing, though in addition to potentially working with Kibby the band is reuniting with legendary producer Steve Lillywhite.
No street date has been set for the follow-up to 2009's This Is War, but in a release announcing the new album Leto promised that the sound would be a "dramatic departure from the past ... very orchestral, narrative, interactive and even more electronic than previous projects." The trio are laying down the tracks in their Los Angeles studio, named "ICAASS," for International Center for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences of Sound, while also incorporating "site specific recordings" in such varied locations as India, Africa, Yosemite, the California desert and Europe.
After teaming with Kanye West for the War track "Hurricane," Leto told RS that he'd love to work with Eminem this time around, as well as Bjö, the Cure's Robert Smith and Sigur Rós.
Following their record-setting string of 309 shows on the War tour, the group will not play any gigs in 2012, but will broadcast a live performance from their studio on April 27th via Leto's new website, VyRT.net. The gig will feature old favorites, previews of new material, a sneak peek at their new documentary, "ARTIFACT," acoustic jams and some fan Q&A. Digital "tickets" for the show are available on the vyRT site.
