In February, Thirty Seconds To Mars hinted that they’re going to return to rock on their next album, following 2023’s It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day.

In a video featuring Jared Leto on a laptop with his team behind him, they jokingly reacted to and celebrated “watching the first troll talk shit after we finally make a rock album again”. In the caption, they asked, “Like & share if you want a Rock Album” and Jared himself commented several devil horns emojis.
