P.O.D‘s brand new music video for Higher is premiering now at VEVO.com! Sonny explains,”We went through a bunch of treatments, and we loved the fact that the director wanted to do the video in San Diego. It’s our hometown. The treatment had a good vibe, and it reminded us of how we felt when we saw the video for ‘Alive‘.” Watch the video for Higher below:
Murdered Love, the new album from Christian hard rockers P.O.D [Payable On Death], sold more than 16,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 17 on The Billboard 200 chart.
P.O.D‘s first new album in four years, Murdered Love, was released on July 10th 2012 on Razor & Tie.
Earlier this month P.O.D released their new music video for the song Murdered Love from their new studio album. The video for Murdered Love was filmed with director Ramon Boutisveth [All That Remains, For Today, Trivium] in the band’s hometown of San Diego, California. Murdered Love can be seen HERE.
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 alongside hit albums for Kelly Clarkson, Theory Of A Deadman, Daughtry, and My Chemical Romance.
The CD cover and packaging was illustrated and designed by Invisible Creature, whose previous credits include the Foo Fighters, Norma Jean, Chris Cornell and many more.
P.O.D will join the third annual Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival this summer alongside multiplatinum rock bands Shinedown, Godsmack, Staind and Papa Roach. The tour just kicked off [August 18th] in Kansas City, MO and wraps on September 30th in Albuquerque, NM [full tour dates below].
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 line-up consists of vocalist Sonny Sandoval, drummer Wuv Bernardo, guitarist Marcos Curiel, and bassist Traa Daniels.
