Platinum-selling rock juggernaut P.O.D. — Sonny Sandoval [vocals], Marcos Curiel [guitar], and Traa Daniels [bass] — 11th album “Veritas” will arrive on May 3 via Mascot Records.
Pre-order it here.
Today, the band has shared the video for “Lies We Tell Ourselves.” Sandoval states, “Everybody lies to themselves! Just don’t believe it.”
“As hate is to love, death is to life, lies is to VERITAS (truth). This song resonates the struggle and hope which keeps us from truly believing that the ‘lies within ourselves’ become a reality. Our struggle. Our truth,” says Curiel.
“We can’t wait for you all to hear the new album in its entirety,” states Curiel. “We’ve put so much heart and soul into this recording. We are extremely proud of it. We hope to see all your beautiful faces in city near you. Thank you for your unwavering support. We love and appreciate you all.”
Sandoval furthers, “There’s a first time for everything and the writing and recording process of this record will definitely not be the last. We might’ve just created our best album yet!”
“This will most likely be one of my favorite P.O.D. records,” says Daniels. “There are some songs on this record that are so different from one another, but still have that P.O.D. So Cal flavor.”

Curiel concurs: “We consider ourselves very fortunate to be back out on the road again here in the States. It’s an honor for us to perform for you all. It’s been way too long. We are extremely excited for the new album and the touring cycle that comes with it. We can’t wait to see everyone jamming and singing along with us. This is why we do what we do! To reconnect with longtime friends and fans. And to make new ones. Let’s do this.”
