Photos: 30 Seconds To Mars perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live

20 May, 2013: 30 Seconds To Mars are back in a big way, with new album LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS on sale now. It doesn't stand a chance of hitting No.1 - but that's mainly due to the fact that Daft Punk release their new album this week as well.

The band took to the stage on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show this week, one of the biggest platforms for bands to perform on US TV. Playing a brief show to a handful of ecstatic fans, lucky enough to secure tickets to be in the TV audience. Frontman Jared Leto was also snapped outside the shoot, embracing a blonde fan backstage on the show.

Speaking about the band's new album, Leto recently spoke to The Daily Record about how the new album is more 'reflective' than their previous release.

"It is an album that discusses these four important themes. The last album was about conflict. It was about survival," he told the tabloid.

"We were fighting our record company. They sued us for $30million and we made a film about it, called Artefact, which will be out this year. This album is more reflective. Very few people have heard the album and I am super-excited for people to hear it."
