Release Notes:



Spiritual rockers P.O.D. (a.k.a. Payable On Death) began their rise in the late

'90s with their unique brand of inspiring lyrics and driving metal, hip-hop,

tribal, and reggae influences. With a 14-year career under their belts, P.O.D.

has logged a remarkable array of achievements, including worldwide sales

exceeding 7 million. Supported by their passionate fanbase - known as "The

Warriors" - the band has created what they describe as "a catalog of music that

we want to respect and honor with each step into the future."



Rhino salutes the group's multiplatinum tenure with Atlantic Records with a

single-disc compilation that mixes album tracks with unreleased and hard-to-find

songs. P.O.D. - GREATEST HITS (THE ATLANTIC YEARS) will be available November 21

at all physical retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested retail price

of $18.98 and at all digital music providers for a suggested retail price of

$11.99.



Featuring 17 songs, the collection includes music originally released between

1999 and 2006. The disc includes a pair of unreleased tracks - "Going In Blind,"

their new single recorded exclusively for this compilation, and "Here We Go," a

session outtake from Testify.



GREATEST HITS (THE ATLANTIC YEARS) contains seven songs featuring the group's

original lineup - singer Sonny Sandoval; guitarist Marcos Curiel; drummer Wuv

Bernardo; and bassist Traa Daniels. The breakout tracks "Southtown," "Rock The

Party (Off The Hook)" and fan favorite "Set Your Eyes To Zion" represent

P.O.D.'s 1999 major-label debut, The Fundamental Elements Of Southtown. The

compilation spotlights four tracks from the band's Top 10 follow-up, Satellite,

including the smash radio hits "Alive," "Boom," and "Youth Of The Nation," a

positive anthem in response to a pair of school shootings that occurred around

P.O.D.'s home turf.



The collection also features "Sleeping Awake," the lead single and video for the

Matrix Reloaded soundtrack in 2003 and the first song to feature guitarist Jason

Truby, who replaced Curiel in 2002. GREATEST HITS compiles five tracks from the

band's last two albums - both Top 10 hits - including "Execute The Sounds" and

"Will You" from Payable On Death (2003). ▄ber-producer Glen Ballard helmed the

group's 2006 release Testify, which spawned the hit singles "Goodbye For Now"

and "Lights Out." The album also features "If It Wasn't For You," a song lifted

from 2005's The Warriors EP, Vol. 2, and "Truly Amazing," which was featured on

the 2004 compilation The Passion Of The Christ: Songs (Original Songs Inspired

By The Film).
