The time has come for Thirty Seconds to Mars to reveal their long-awaited surprise to fans.
Following weeks of teasing fans with anticipation, the rock band officially dropped their new single, “God’s Eye,” a long-lost track from the band’s early catalog.
What made it even more remarkable was that the song was pulled from an unreleased track recorded more than 20 years ago. It was originally supposed to be part of their second studio album, A Beautiful Lie, released in 2005.
Despite the song not being included in the second studio album, it has finally seen the light of day after the band, led by actor and frontman Jared Leto, launched their special 20th anniversary edition of the album.
