P.O.D.

P.O.D. frontman Sonny Sandoval recently revealed the band will be hitting the studio this spring to record a new album of originals after releasing their acoustic "hits" album this Fall.

He shared that after their stay on the ShipRocked Tour, they will be going directly to L.A. to begin recording with producer Howard Benson. "Hopefully we can get it done in four to six weeks, and then we are shooting for a summertime release," Sandoval said in an interview with All Access Live.

He said the band already booked shows overseas in Russia and other parts of Europe as well as South America. The singer shared they had asked the guys in Living Colour and Nonpoint to perhaps go on the tour with them.

The acoustic SoCal Sessions was their first album since 2012's Murdered Love, and saw 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.

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.
