DUBLIN, Ireland, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- The Irish rock band U2 plans to release its new studio album "No Line on the Horizon" in North America this March, Interscope Records said Thursday.

Written and recorded in various locations, "No Line" is the group's 12th studio album and is its first release since the 9-million-copy-selling album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," went on sale in late 2004, the record label said.

Sessions for U2's latest album began last year in Fez, Morocco, and continued in the band's own studio in Dublin before moving to New York's Platinum Sound Recording Studios. It was completed at Olympic Studios in London, Interscope said.

Set to drop March 3, the album features the production talents of long-time collaborators Brian Eno and Danny Lanois, with additional production by Steve Lillywhite.
