The first taste of new music from P.O.D. will arrive in the summer

Author Benedetta Baldin - 24.5.2026

P.O.D. guitarist Marcos Curiel revealed that the band has finished recording a new studio album in a recent interview with the radio station 99.7 The Blitz, as per Blabbermouth. Grammy-nominated music producer and engineer Will Yip recorded the follow-up to 2024’s “Veritas” at his new Memory Music Studios in the Whitman neighbourhood of South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

We did vocals, guitars, bass, everything that needed to be recorded, in 12 days in Philadelphia. Now it’s going to mix. And we went in with Will Yip. Will Yip, actually, his latest claim to fame is he got a couple of Grammys for Turnstile. And he also produced a lot of hardcore bands like Title Fight and Quicksand and all that. We went to Philly and recorded a record that we had been writing since October, and we just banged it out. We’re, like, ‘Hey, we got a little window. Let’s go.’

When is the new album coming out then?

We don’t have a release date. We don’t have a title yet, but it’s coming. And I think we’re gonna hopefully release a new song just to the public in August. And we’re excited about it because we really feel strongly about this new music.

Will it be different from “Veritas”?

I think that’s [‘Veritas’] kind of the introduction of where we were into where we were headed. Now this new album is an extension of that, but fresh.” We’re excited. We can’t wait for people to hear it, ’cause as an artist, people are, like, ‘Oh, yeah, you’re playing all your bangers, all your big hits.’ We’re grateful. Those songs are timeless, but we’re not done. We wanna create, we wanna create music that rocks, and hopefully people love it as much as we did creating it and playing it.
