<Li> "L490" </Li> <P> "Night of the Hunter" is a song by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, featured on their third studio album This Is War . Written by lead vocalist Jared Leto, the song was released as the fifth and final single from the album in 2011 . The track was produced by Flood, Steve Lillywhite and 30 Seconds to Mars, and was inspired by Jared and his brother Shannon's youth in Louisiana . </P> <P> The song was written by Jared Leto, with him playing lead guitar, Tomo Milicevic playing the bass guitar, and Shannon Leto on drums . Jared Leto said the following to MTV News: </P> <P> My brother and I were born in Louisiana, we had a single mom...who, at the time, was a high school dropout living in the South, (so we) really didn't have very much in terms of materialistic things . And although we moved out of the South when we were kids--you know, we joke we kind of climbed out of the muddy banks of the Mississippi River with food stamps in one hand and our instruments in the other--our mother helped carve a new life for us . And I think that song has some spirit of the South in it; some kind of American Gothic feel . </P>
