LP - P.O.D. - Veritas

1 LP - Limited transparent vinyl - released 06/28

Five years removed from their previous studio album, "Circles", P.O.D. returns with arguably their hardest-hitting record yet. "We're still here and creating some of the best music we've ever made", says guitarist Marcos Curiel. This go-round, however, P.O.D. decided to get back to the basics.

"These songs are a throwback to me and remind me of the raw, unbridled energy of classic South San Diego P.O.D.", offers bassist Traa Daniels. Written over several years, with the band typically writing a tune or two at a time in L.A. with The Heavy, "Veritas" is a cannon shot of adrenaline to the ear drums. And for a band that has never shied away from wearing their heart on their sleeve, it's also one of the most emotionally inspired albums of their career.
