Thirty Seconds to Mars took a break from touring in 2012 and spent most of the year recording their fourth album, entitled Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams . The album was produced by Jared Leto with previous collaborator Steve Lillywhite . Leto said that the band took a new direction with Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams . He explained that the album “is more than an evolution, it’s a brand new beginning. Creatively, we’ve gone to an entirely new place, which is exciting, unexpected, and incredibly inspiring.” In September 2012, Artifact , a documentary about the band’s legal battle against the record label EMI and the making of This Is War , premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and won the People’s Choice Documentary Award.
