Thirty Seconds To Mars

**Thirty Seconds to Mars** is an American rock band founded in 1998 by brothers Jared and Shannon Leto. The band initially became known as an alternative rock group and gained a large fan base worldwide thanks to their innovative sound and cinematic style. Their debut album *30 Seconds to Mars* (2002) introduced the band to the rock scene, but it was their second album, *A Beautiful Lie* (2005), that brought them their international breakthrough. Songs like *The Kill* and *From Yesterday* characterised their sound and established them as a powerful voice in the rock genre.

Over the years, the style of Thirty Seconds to Mars has evolved significantly, which can be heard particularly on the album *This Is War* (2009), which contains epic sounds and thematically profound lyrics about war, resistance and humanity. Here, the band experiments with anthemic choral passages, electronic elements and orchestral arrangements. The album *Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams* (2013) also demonstrates their musical diversity and their courage to cross boundaries between genres.

Thirty Seconds to Mars have earned a firm place in the music landscape thanks to their spectacular live performances and their flair for visual art. Jared Leto's charismatic performance and profound lyrics on topics such as self-discovery, love and social criticism appeal to millions of fans worldwide. With their 2018 album *America* and new projects, the brothers show their adaptability and influence in modern rock music - making Thirty Seconds to Mars one of the most remarkable bands of their time.
