The disc nabs the #9 spot on this week's Billboard Albums Chart. This marks P.O.D.'s fourth Top 10 release. "Satellite" (2001), "Payable On Death"(2003) and "Testify" (2006) also debuted in the Billboard Top 10 when released. In addition, P.O.D. have landed the coveted #1 spot on iTunes Rock album Chart this past week.
Lead vocalist Sonny Sandoval says: "After 16 years of being in P.O.D., the loyalty of The Warriors continue to make us look good. We are truly grateful and blown away to see another Top 10 debut."
As has always been the case with P.O.D. the band looked to those that inspired them rather than the hot artist of the moment for guests on the album. "That's what we do on our records; we bring in people that influenced us." Joining in the fun was Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies, who guests on the track "Kaliforn-Eye-A," and The Marley Sisters (the daughters of Bob Marley), who lend their vocal prowess to what Sonny calls "Our reggae track (I'LL BE READY)." Helmet's Paige Hamilton sings on "God Forbid," which Sonny calls "probably our heaviest song."
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."
