Platinum-selling rock juggernaut P.O.D. - Sonny Sandoval [vocals], Marcos Curiel [guitar], and Traa Daniels [bass] - will released their 11th album, Veritas, will arrive May 3 via Mascot Records. Today, the band has shared the video for "Lies We Tell Ourselves". Watch below.
Sandoval states, "Everybody lies to themselves! Just don’t believe it."
"As hate is to love, death is to life, lies is to Veritas (truth). This song resonates the struggle and hope which keeps us from truly believing that the 'lies within ourselves' become a reality. Our struggle. Our truth," says Curiel.
The word Veritas – which translates to "Truth" in Latin – defined the emotional core of the album, and the album art further encapsulates that message: the Veritas album cover, which pictures a child with its eyes blacked out, signifies “a culmination of innocence and dark hidden truths.”
