P.O.D. release new music video for ‘Outbreak’
P.O.D. have released a new music video!
The San Diego nu-metal veterans have unveiled Outbreak, their first new original song since the release of 2024’s Veritas. Featuring a guest appearance from Cory Brandan of NORMA JEAN, the new single was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Will Yip.
Speaking about the collaboration, vocalist Sonny Sandoval says, “we have known the band and members for a while, but that was the first time we toured together and really got the chance to bond as friends. This is possibly one of the heaviest songs P.O.D. has ever written, so we wanted to showcase a guest vocalist who reflected that. Cory’s voice and tone bring a specific intensity and command that draws you in. Our voices together deliver an authoritative energy that matches the power of the song.”

Discussing the song’s inspiration, guitarist Marcos Curiel explains, “as avid fans of zombie apocalypse, video games, and movies, it seemed only fitting to compose a song about this topic. The song delicately straddles the line between nonfiction and fiction. It’s fun yet hard-hitting, bridging the gap between what’s real and what’s not.”
Sandoval adds, “Marcos sent me a rough guitar demo, which had the working title of Outbreak. This by far was the heaviest idea yet, and I immediately texted him how much I loved it. Once I heard it, I knew there was no need to change the title and use it as the lyrical theme. The guitar riff and warning sample immediately gave me a frantic, apocalyptic, doomsday-type vibe.”
