P.O.D. have unveiled another new single, “Afraid to Die,” featuring Tatiana Shmayluk of Ukrainian metal band Jinjer.
The track is classic P.O.D. with its fusion of rap and riffs. Frontman Sonny Sandoval’s verses are complimented by clean vocal passages from Shmayluk, and the anthemic sing-a-long chorus harkens back to “Youth of the Nation,” one of the band’s most well-known songs.
“‘Afraid to Die’ is a combination of cryptic and triumphant melodies,” said P.O.D. guitarist Marcos Curiel via a press release. “It has storytelling rhymes and chugged verses, and a wide open, melodic yet semi-morbid, chorus. It’s anthemic In every sense of the word.”
Regarding the collab with Shmayluk, which came to fruition on P.O.D. and Jinjer’s 2022 tour together, Curiel added: “Our dear friend Tatiana Shmayluk offers her unique approach and we had incredible musical chemistry with her. This is P.

P.O.D. have returned with the new song “Drop,” featuring guest vocals from Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe.
“When you hear it, you know it’s P.O.D.!” declared the band’s Sonny Sandoval, and he’s not wrong. The track touches all the P.O.D. bases. Sandoval’s flow is infectious and tight, and heavy rap-metal breakdowns are balanced against more melodic, alt-rock sections.
Blythe’s cameo occurs in the middle break of the song. He growls and narrates vicious lines while guitarist Marcos Curiel’s riffs build to one of the song’s many drops — the track’s title being very appropriate in this case.
“‘Drop’ is another one of a kind, unparalleled banger that sets this band apart from everyone else,” boasted Sandoval.

Chester Bennington’s first band Grey Daze have dropped a new song, “Soul Song,” accompanied by a touching video directed by the late singer’s son, Jaime Bennington.
“Soul Song” is a booming alt-rock ballad that moves from atmospheric verses tinged with electronic elements into an epic chorus bolstered by big grunge guitars. “And freedom rained,” Bennington howls, “God has come/With the rivers of blood/Pushed back in my veins.”
The video for “Soul Song” incorporates archival footage of Bennington and sprawling nature scenes with Jaime at their center.
