P.O.D. au scos un teaser pentru videoclipul piesei "Drop" realizata cu RANDY BLYTHE de la LAMB OF GOD

Rockerii din sudul Californiei, P.O.D., vor lansa noul lor single, „Drop”, vinerea asta pe 22 septembrie. Piesa este realizata in colaborare cu solistul LAMB OF GOD, Randy Blythe si este preluata de pe viitorul album de studio al lui P.O.D., „Veritas”, care va fi lansat in 2024.

Intr-un interviu recent cu Ethan Jackson de la postul de radio rock Topeka KDVV/V100, sustinut la festivalul Rocklahoma din acest an, chitaristul P.O.D. Marcos Curiel a fost intrebat daca el si colegii sai de trupa lucreaza la vreun material nou. El a raspuns: "Yes, sir. Actually, we started our set [at Rocklahoma] with a new song. The song's called 'Drop' and we shot the video for it recently. And it features Randy Blythe from LAMB OF GOD. And it's the first song on our record that comes out — the record actually comes out spring of 2024."

Acesta a adaugat: "The new record's called 'Veritas'. It's the old Latin dialect. You know, the old one that the priests are laying down when people are demonly possessed. It stands for truth. It's our truth because we wrote this record during the pandemic. Individually and collectively, it's our truth as a band, what we've been through, what we've all been through during that time, dude. I can't wait for you guys to hear it, man," the guitarist added. "It's pretty cool. We also got Tatiana [Shmailyuk] from JINJER on a track. And we have Cove Reber. He sang for SCARY KIDS [SCARING KIDS] and SAOSIN. And he also sings in a new band called DEAD AMERICAN. He's on a track."

Luna trecuta, vocalistul P.O.D., Sonny Sandoval, a povestit pentru „The Jesea Lee Show” despre progresul sesiunilor de compozitie si inregistrare pentru urmatorul album de studio al cvartetului rock, nominalizat de trei ori la premiile Grammy: "It's been a long progress, just because of COVID and everything. Once COVID hit, everybody thought, 'Well, we can make records and get everything out and get it ready to go.' But it was kind of a difficult thing for us because we're used to being together and writing together. So, it was a different process for us, but now it's mixed, mastered, ready to go, but we aren't releasing it till next year, because, you know, the way labels work. But it's cool, 'cause they're gonna waterfall like a bunch of different singles and stuff like that. So it should be cool. So hopefully by… The plan is by the time the record comes out, you would have already seen three videos or [heard] four or five songs."

Intrebat daca urmatorul P.O.D. albumul il va vedea pe el si pe colegii sai de trupa revenind la sunetul lor „vechi” sau daca va reprezenta „o era cu totul noua” pentru grup, Sonny a spus: "All we know how to do is be ourselves. But I think this album is definitely more rocking. The last album, 'Circles', was a little bit more on the alternative side and a little bit of all the elements of our styles and flavors. But this one, it's just kind of rock, you know what I mean? But I dig it. I think it's kind of the album that we needed. Not everybody gets all the different flavors and styles and the soulfulness of P.O.D. Sometimes I compare it to… I don't eat McDonald's, but they're the number one food chain for a reason. People, they know what they get, they know what to expect. I'm more of a foodie, so I like a great burger or maybe a steak. But people love their McDonald's, so sometimes you just kind of give 'em what they want."

Cel mai recent album al formatiei P.O.D., intitulat „Circles”, a fost lansat in noiembrie 2018 prin Mascot Label Group. Discul a fost realizat in colaborare cu duo-ul de productie din Los Angeles numit Heavy (Jason Bell si Jordan Miller), care s-a asigurat ca albumul are un sunet contemporan, fara a pierde niciuna dintre marcile sonore de baza, specifice trupei.

P.O.D. a lansat „Satellite: 20th Anniversary Edition” ca dublu CD dar si ca material digital, in septembrie 2021 prin Rhino. Lansata cu cateva zile inainte de aniversarea oficiala a albumului, colectia de 27 de cantece a adus o noua versiune remasterizata a albumului original, plus o selectie de raritati, remixuri si patru demo-uri nelansate anterior, inclusiv „Alive (Semi-Acoustic Version)”. Cateva saptamani mai tarziu, „Satellite: 20th Anniversary Edition” a fost lansat pe vinil ca un dublu LP.

Dupa ce a debutat pe locul 6 in Billboard 200, „Satellite” a vandut mai mult de sapte milioane de exemplare in intreaga lume, inclusiv trei milioane in S.U.A. Materialul a generat patru single-uri: piesa de titlu, „Alive”, „Youth Of The Nation” si „Boom”. Pe langa succesul comercial inregistrat de „Satellite”, P.O.D. a avut trei nominalizari la Grammy pentru „Alive” („Cea mai buna interpretare hard rock”, 2002), „Portrait” („Cea mai buna interpretare metal”, 2003) si „Youth Of The Nation” („Cea mai buna performanta hard rock”, 2003).

„Satellite: 20th Anniversary Edition” are un disc bonus care include piese precum „Critic” si „Sabbath” care au fost lansate initial in Europa, plus remixuri pentru „Boom” de THE CRYSTAL METHOD si „Youth Of The Nation” de Mike $Ki.
