P.O.D. Return with Heavy New Song “Outbreak” Featuring Norma Jean’s Cory Brandan: Stream

P.O.D. has released a new heavyweight track titled "Outbreak," featuring guest vocals from Norma Jean's Cory Brandan. This marks the band's first fresh music since their 2024 album VERITAS. "Outbreak" showcases the heavier side of P.O.D.'s sound, with Sonny Sandoval's rap-sung verses harmonizing with Brandan's intense screams. The music video accompanying the single paints a grim picture of a zombie apocalypse, with a warning that some scenes may be disturbing.

Sandoval shared that the collaboration with Norma Jean was a result of bonding during their previous tour together. He added that this song represents one of the heaviest compositions P.O.D. has ever written, and Cory Brandan's unique voice adds a commanding intensity that complements the song's power. Guitarist Marcos Curiel revealed that the song's theme stemmed from the band's shared love for zombie apocalypse-themed media, blending elements of reality and fiction to create a fun yet hard-hitting experience.

Fans can witness P.O.D. live at various events, including the Aftershock festival in Sacramento on October 2nd, Sick New World in Fort Worth on October 24th, and the House of Blues in Anaheim on Halloween night. Their remaining 2026 tour dates include stops in Saltillo, Mexico, Newstead, Australia, Melbourne, Australia, Sydney, Australia, and Brisbane, Australia.
