Thirty Seconds To Mars have
announced that they are currently working on their 4th studio album, the
follow-up to 2009’s global hit This Is War. The new album is a
“dramatic departure from the past”, says singer and songwriter Jared
Leto (above), describing it as being “very orchestral, narrative, interactive
and even more electronic than previous projects”. Leto is once again
producing the album along with several other talented producers
including the return of Steve Lillywhite (U2, THE KILLERS). The trio are
working out of their studio in the Hollywood Hills dubbed 'ICAASS'
(International Center for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences of
Sound) or 'The Lab' for short, as well as incorporating site specific
recording in locations as far reaching as India, Africa, Yosemite, the
California desert and Europe. Jared spoke with Rollingstone.com about
recording the upcoming album and new technology venture VyRT, the
