30 Seconds to Mars
Comment:
Jared Leto has disproved the general rule that bands featuring successful Hollywood-istas are little more than misguided "yeah-whatever" indulgences — the [i]Fight Club[/i] and [i]Requiem for a Dream[/i] actor formed 30 Seconds to Mars with his older brother Shannon (drummer) in 1998, and has seen his star in the music world rise steadily under a gathering tide of post-grunge, screamo, and hard rock. After highlighting 2002's self-titled debut with long-burners like "Oblivion," the band engineered its breakthrough with [i]A Beautiful Lie[/i] (2005) — a powerful firestorm crammed with heartfelt amp-scorchers, notably "Attack" and "The Kill" — before delivering progressive third album [i]This Is War[/i] in 2009: in a savvy marketing move, fans were asked to send in their ideas for cover artwork while, musically, the release edges confidently towards the epic. Check out "Kings and Queens" and "Night of the Hunter."
