30 Seconds to Mars

In 2006, CONFRONT Magazine’s first featured article (Feature Pres. 30stm) began with the phrase: “Amidst the chaos and frenzy of decision making, phone calls, more decisions, picking colors, taglines, sleepless nights and hair pulling disagreements, one thing was unequivocally certain; we wanted 30 Seconds to Mars to be CONFRONT Magazine’s first cover.” Five years later, in the face of a [...]
