Mick Mars, the celebrated guitarist from MÖTLEY CRÜE, has unveiled the first single from his upcoming solo venture, The Other Side Of Mars. The official video for the song "Loyal To The Lie" can be listened below
The Other Side Of Mars is slated for release on February 23, 2024. Fans can now pre-order the album at the newly launched merchandise storefront, shop.mickmarsofficial.com. The album is available in various editions, including a 180g LP and CD, with both signed and unsigned options. Mars will release The Other Side Of Mars through his private label, 1313, LLC, in collaboration with MRI.
Mars says about “Loyal To The Lie”: “I wanted to do something that was just big and mean.” But no matter what direction he’s going in on The Other Side Of Mars, what ties it all together is “that people are going to hear my tone — my sound,” Mars says. “I am what I am. Nobody else can do it. And like everyone, I’ve got a limited number of years. So, I’m gonna do all I can to do a lot of stuff.”
When Mars stepped back from touring with MÖTLEY CRÜE — the band he co-founded more than 40 years ago — following their massive summer 2022 “The Stadium Tour”, it seemed like the end of an era. Really, it was the beginning of a new one.
