For fans of the rap-rock genre that was all the rage in the late ‘90s, San Diego-based triple-platinum selling P.O.D. have reunited with guitarist Marcos Curiel and are dropping their first record in four years on April 8.

Curiel was in the lineup during the band’s rise to the top of the charts with 1999’s The Fundamental Elements of Southtown and 2001’s triple-platinum Satellite, which featured the hit singles “Youth of a Nation,” “Alive,” “Boom,” and the title track. He returns to the band with their Columbia Records debut, When Angels and Serpents Dance.

Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies, the Marley Sisters and Paige Hamilton of Helmet all make guest appearances on the record, which is a further progression from a band that grew initially out of the Christian hardcore punk scene of the mid-‘90s.

“Age has a lot to do with it, getting older,” Sonny, the band’s frontman, stated in a press release. “I’m married with kids now and we’re not 18 in the garage anymore playing hardcore punk. We don’t sound like those guys down in the garage.”
