Details on P.O.D.'s Payable On Death; 1st radio single already a hit

Atlantic Records has announced the forthcoming release of the eagerly awaited new album from P.O.D., entitled Payable On Death. The San Diego-based quartet's follow-up to 2001's Satellite, the new collection is set to arrive in stores nationwide on November 4.

Produced by P.O.D. and longtime studio collaborator Howard Benson, Payable On Death sees the band pushing their explosive sound to extraordinary new heights. The result is their rawest, most provocative recording to date, blending evocative, emotional lyrics with urgent, charismatic rock & roll.

"Will You," the first single from Payable On Death, is far and away the #1 most-added track this week at rock and alternative radio nationwide, with over 140 stations jumping on the track out-of-the-box. A companion video clip -- directed by Marc Webb (Good Charlotte, AFI, Unwritten Law) -- is currently in production.

P.O.D. will herald the release of Payable On Death on October 31 with a live performance at the Voodoo Music Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. Renowned for their fiery live shows, the band recently returned to the concert stage as part of the Coors Light Mountain Jam at Red Rocks, marking their first show with new guitarist Jason Truby. P.O.D. is currently on a worldwide promotional tour, with a full-scale global tour slated to begin in early 2004.

Having made their early reputation via an extremely loyal grassroots following -- known as "the Warriors" -- P.O.D. has long maintained a strong online presence. Their hugely successful website, www.payableondeath.com, has just been relaunched, featuring new graphics and up-to-the-minute information on the band's activities.

From their humble beginnings in a Chula Vista garage, to the international success of 2001's hugely successful Satellite, P.O.D. has established themselves as one of the most important career artists of the modern era. Combining positive messages with furious, genre-blurring rock & roll, P.O.D. has reaped critical praise and an ever-increasing audience since the release of 1999's The Fundamental Elements of Southtown. The band has also unleashed a remarkable streak of radio and video hits, including "Southtown," "Rock the Party (Off the Hook)," "School of Hard Knocks," "Boom," "Alive," and "Youth of the Nation." Earlier this summer, P.O.D. scored yet again with "Sleeping Awake," the lead single from the soundtrack from The Matrix: Reloaded.
