P.O.D.
Jun 25, 2012
P.O.D.'s new album, Murdered Love, is the band's first new studio album in four years and is set for release on July 10th on Razor & Tie. Murdered Love is P.O.D.'s long-awaited follow-up to When Angels & Serpents Dance. Murdered Love sees the band reunited with long-time producer Howard Benson, who also produced the band's massive Satellite album. Their first single, "Lost In Forever," is moving up the Alternative chart.
The San Diego band P.O.D. (Payable On Death) formed in 1992 has logged a remarkable array of achievements, including worldwide sales exceeding 10 million and a series of chart topping radio hits. With a 15-year career under their belts, P.O.D. has released seven studio albums, received three Grammy Award nominations, contributed to numerous motion picture soundtracks, and toured the world over many times. With their third studio album, The Fundamental Elements Of Southtown, they achieved their initial mainstream success - the album was certified Platinum by the RIAA in 2000. Their following studio album, Satellite, continued the band's success with the hit singles, "Alive" and "Youth Of The Nation," pushing it to go triple platinum.
The band's lineup consists of vocalist Sonny Sandoval, drummer Wuv Bernardo, guitarist Marcos Curiel, and bassist Traa Daniels. Curiel describes the new album as "back to our roots. A little bit of hip hop, a little bit of punk rock, or reggae."
P.O.D. will be on tour throughout the rest of 2012. The band will join the third annual Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival beginning August 17th alongside multiplatinum rock bands Shinedown, Godsmack, Staind, and Papa Roach.
