P.O.D. have released their new single “Afraid To Die”, which features Tatiana Shmayluk of Ukrainian progressive metalcore band Jinjer. The song is the second single from the band’s upcoming new album Veritas, which is set to be released through Mascot Label Group in early 2024.
Marcos Curiel, the band’s guitarist, offered:
“‘Afraid To Die‘ is a combination of cryptic and triumphant melodies. 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.”
“Our dear friend Tatiana Shmayluk offers her unique approach and we had incredible musical chemistry with her. This is P.O.D. hitting the human core of our existence and dealing with love, fear, integrity, and most of all, family and friends. It’s ultimately an abundance of love and life.”
