Platinum-selling rock juggernaut P.O.D. — Sonny Sandoval [vocals], Marcos Curiel [guitar], and Traa Daniels [bass] — will release their 11th albumVERITAS, which was deemed one of the most anticipated albums of the year by Revolver, on May 3 via Mascot Records. Pre-order it here.
Sandoval states, “Everybody lies to themselves! Just don’t believe it.”
“As hate is to love, death is to life, lies is to VERITAS (truth). This song resonates the struggle and hope which keeps us from truly believing that the ‘lies within ourselves’ become a reality. Our struggle. Our truth,” says Curiel.
Last fall, the band debuted the video for “DROP,” which features a vicious vocal cameo from Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe. It earned quick press accolades from Metal Injection, Consequence, Revolver, Idioteq, The Pit, Yahoo!, and Knotfest. They followed with the video for equally eruptive single “AFRAID TO DIE,” featuring Jinjer vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk. Last month the band also shared the video for “I WON’T BOW DOWN,” another banger that further introduced VERITAS. The tracks combined have garnered twelve million streams!
Last week the band played shows in the UK with Skindred, and for the upcoming summer they have several appearances booked at the European festivals including Nova Rock (AT), Dissonance Festival (IT), Summerside (CH), Graspop (BE), Topfest (SK) and Fajtfest (CZ).
Next month, the band will embark on a North American tour. Bad Wolves, Norma Jean, and Blind Channel will serve as support. The “I Got That Tour” itinerary includes several festival stops along the way. Get tickets here.
