On November 6, 2008, they were the VIP section hosts of the MTV Europe Music Awards, interviewing the likes of Kid Rock, Anastacia and Sugababes. They added to their collection with an MTV EMA “Video Star” for “A Beautiful Lie” and the “Rock Out” award, claiming that nearly all of their success is down to their fans.

Following other commitments, they will begin working on their third album. As heard in the MTV Malaysia interview with Leto, he announces they are currently in the middle of the new album. Some of the songs seem to have been performed at their overseas tour.

However, in August 2008, Virgin Records filed a million lawsuit, claiming the band refused to deliver three albums as required by its contract. According to the lawsuit, the band “repudiated” a 1999 contract in July. In an early 2009 interview with MTV, Jared said that they hope to have their third album out by summer 2009, and he also gave information about the meaning behind the record saying, “I think this record is about faith, about spiritual matters, and that just happens to be what we’re thinking about and talking about in our lives right now. I said when the last album came out that I wanted to destroy the first record, which I think we did. We took a dramatic turn from the first to the second, and I think this new record follows that path. It’s exciting to us, and we’re really passionate about it.”

In the February 11 issue of Kerrang! magazine, the working title for the new album is said to be This Is War

Jared released a bit of information about his trip to Hawaii, and recorded a song called “Hurricane” with Kanye West.

On April 28, they returned from EMI and the lawsuit was annulled.

Soon after the announcement of the lawsuit settlement, Jared and 30 Seconds To Mars told MTV News that their third album has had its release date pushed back from April 2009 to some time in September 2009. Although these dates have been changed many times, 30 Seconds to Mars has released This Is War on December 8, 2009.
