The lineup that led P.O.D. to multiple platinum success with “The Fundamental Elements of Southtown” and “Satellite” (featuring “Youth of a Nation,” “Alive,” “Boom,” and "Satellite") is back with their INO/Columbia Records debut, “When Angels and Serpents Dance” on April 8, 2008.

Prior to the release, the band will take part in Hard Rock Café's month long charity drive for Musicians on Call and perform at various Hard Rock Café's throughout the country. On Tuesday, March 18 there will be an album listening event at Hard Rock locations in Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Orlando, Philadelphia and San Francisco. These listening parties will have a voluntary $5 donation to the Musicians on Call charity and a register to win drawing for various P.O.D. items.

Beginning March 25, P.O.D. will criss-cross the country to perform live in 8 markets at various Hard Rock Café venues including a special hometown show on April 7 in San Diego the night before the CD is released in-stores. The Hard Rock shows will give P.O.D. fans a chance to be up close with the band in the intimate setting of the Hard Rock Café venues. The San Diego show will be broadcast live over the internet on ALL ACCESS Warrior Pass. This will allow fans to have access to exclusive footage, witness the hometown performance and a chance to interact with the band and other fans. P.O.D. will also be special guests on Rockline Radio show on Monday April, 7 before the Hard Rock performance that same evening.

“When Angels and Serpents Dance” (produced by Jay Baumgardner: Evanescence, etc.) is ultimately a record of P.O.D. in 2008. “As far as P.O.D. goes it’s always for the moment,” Sonny says. “I just kind of go through it and whatever the song brings out in us that’s it. There’s a lot of passion on this record.”

Indeed, “When Angels and Serpents Dance” is the sound of a rejuvenated band: passionate, aggressive and with a message for our times.
