After four years, the Jared Leto-fronted band releases the first official single from their next studio installment.
- Aug 23, 2017
AceShowbiz - 30 Seconds to Mars is back. The band has just released a brand new single "Walk on Water" and dropped a lyrics video. "Everything you are about to see we filmed on a single day in the United States of America. July 4th, 2017," the band explains.
"Over 10,000 people submitted footage of a single day including 92 of our professional crews. They filmed across the country in all fifty states plus Puerto Rico and D.C. and captured a portrait of this country that is absolutely beautiful, challenging and unforgettable," they continue.
The rest of the footage can be seen in a documentary film directed by the frontman Jared Leto. It will be included as a companion piece to the group's brand new album. It will be their first studio effort since they dropped "Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams" in 2013.
"After four long years, hundreds of days, thousands of hours, gazillions of seconds, we have finally managed to finish a single fu**ing song. Whoever thought 'soon' would actually be here 'now'. With the help of groundbreaking nanotechnology, chatbots and self-driving music software, we have wrangled from the depths of our cold black hearts, some semblance of a song," the vocalist says in a statement.
"If you're still reading this press release and managed to get this far, you should probably get to work or school before you get fired or grounded," he continues. "If you're stubborn, like I am, please continue and let me share with you a few words on our brand new single, the ever so subtle and minimalist ode we tenderly call 'WALK ON WATER'."
"Of course this entire paragraph is complete and total hogwash but I'm not sure exactly what to say about the song. Honestly, we miss you all. We can't wait to get back on the road and we couldn’t be more proud to share with you the first first single off of our new album. And yes, we have been working on it for four years. The last time we put an album out, there were no self driving cars, no fidget spinners, President Trump was still that guy on The Apprentice and Jon Snow hadn't even died yet. #SpoilerAlert."
