P.O.D. have confirmed their next album will be issued in August.
The Awakening is released on August 21 and features guest appearances from In This Moment’s Maria Brink and Sick Of It All’s Lou Koller. Brink said recently that she was excited about an upcoming collaboration, but couldn’t reveal who it was with.
Singer Sonny Sandoval says: “The Awakening is meant to be listened to in its entirety. Every song ultimately explores a character dealing with life, making mistakes, fighting, trying. But we also live in a singles-type world, and it works on that level, too.”
Bass player Traa Daniels adds: “The Awakening is definitely an evolution from where we’ve come from. It’s this amazing piece of art that we’ve been able to put together as four guys who are like brothers. This is really special.”
The follow-up to 2014’s SoCal Sessions is available for preorder now on CD, digital and vinyl formats. Preorders via iTunes include an immediate download of lead single This Goes Out To You.
P.O.D. last month wrapped up a UK tour with Hoobastank and Alien Ant Farm and head out on the road in North America from June 14.
