"Our fans are excited and we're having a lot of fun," says vocalist Sonny Sandoval. "After four years Marcos is back in the band and we've got new music. Things are exciting again. When the four of us are in a room making music it's definitely right and Marcos brings that passion for music into the band."

The quartet's renewed vigor is evident throughout When Angels and Serpents Dance from the searing guitar which kicks off the hard-rocking first single, "Addicted" and the striking and poignant, "End Of The World" (complete with gospel choir!); to the album's most ferocious track, the savage "Like Old Times." "Like Old TImes" was the first song written by the reunited incarnation of the quartet. "I think that was the first riff Marcos showed us." Sonny says of the song. "The working title was called 'Seems Like Old Times'. He started writing a riff and the way we remembered it as our first riff together was to call it that!"

"It's just great to get back to basics and give it another whirl & tap into our souls." says an inspired Marcos. "This band is a supernatural experience to me! It has literally surpassed many of my vivid dreams...I'm blessed and excited to reconnect with family & friends. I hope to pursue & establish the passion that began in 1992 with 4 brothers who just followed God, dreams & our music."

But as Sonny pointed out earlier, this is P.O.D. four years later; and more for the classic lineup. The band that recorded 1999's platinum The Fundamental Elements of Southtown and 2001's triple-platinum Satellite has changed. "Age has a lot to do with it, getting older. 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," he says.
