~~P.O.D. Announces Album Release Date~~

On November 4th 2003........

P.O.D. will release their 3rd major label record for Atlantic Records, boldly titled:

In the words of Sonny, ""Payable On Death" is a fresh new start, a going back to roots, a re-connecting with our people."

Currently, the boys are working through 17 songs honing their heaviest and most revolutionary record yet.

Long time Producer, Howard Benson had this to say about what he's experiencing with P.O.D. in the studio:

"There's a certain quiet confidence in this band right now. They really know who they are. It's a magical moment... The whole team here can feel it. This record is going to touch their listeners souls like only great career artists can do."

"We feel like we are giving birth to a whole new race," said guitarist Jason Truby.

**MESSAGE FROM SONNY**

Dear Warriors,

Thank you for the constant support and dedication you have shown toward this band in the past and present. Because of you, P.O.D. has exceeded far beyond any dream or goal we have ever set for this band. Through prayer, sacrifice, hard work, and a simple vision we are honored to have made it this far. Although humbled and grateful for the past eleven years of accomplishments we feel that the best days are yet to come. Because of your loyalty and respect, it saddens me to say that Marcos is no longer with P.O.D. As some of you may have already heard, Marcos has chosen to pursue his own vision apart from P.O.D. Never have we imagined P.O.D. without him, but we now know this vision is bigger than the four of us. I feel that there are still so many good things in store for those of us who have put our lives on the line for what we believe in.

As for P.O.D. we will continue with the amazing privilege that has been put before us. Only because of God’s grace and goodness can we look toward tomorrow. Currently we are writing the lead single for "The Matrix Reloaded." We will soon begin writing our third full length record for Atlantic Records. Coming along side of us is a long time friend and talented musician and songwriter, Jason Truby. He brings an excitement and a fire to the table that will take P.O.D. to the next level. Through great challenges come great rewards and we're more confident now than ever of where we are going.

Please continue to keep P.O.D. and Marcos in your prayers. All our Love is yours.

Be blessed………………..sonny
