The SoCal Sessions is their first album since 2012's Murdered Love, and will see an international release on November 24.

P.O.D. raised the money for this album through PledgeMusic.

"We originally got the idea after doing a number of radio shows and radio stations asking us to perform acoustic. We were a bit hesitant at first, but after great fan reaction, we wanted to do a whole acoustic album. We've been hard at work in the studio and have already finished over half of the album. We've been having a lot of fun with it and it's got a really raw, stripped down feel to it," they wrote on their PledgeMusic site.

"We are thrilled that P.O.D., who have enjoyed a strong fanbase for years, has chosen the PledgeMusic platform to further connect with their fans to release this special collection of songs," said PledgeMusic in a press release about their partnership with P.O.D.

P.O.D. played an album release show on November 18 at The Merrow in San Diego.

Often hard to classify, P.O.D. (Payable on Death), are a unique mix of nu-metal, rap-metal, reggae, hip-hop, punk, and hardcore. The band formed in 1992, and became very popular in underground rock circuits. It wasn't until 1999's Fundamental Elements of Southtown record that the band began picking up steam with "Rock the Party" and "Southtown," and eventually released their ground breaking album Satellite in 2001.
