Talking about the "
Higher" video,
Sonny reveals, "We went through a bunch of treatments, and we loved the fact that the director wanted to do the video in San Diego. It's our hometown. The treatment had a good vibe, and it reminded us of how we felt when we saw the video for 'Alive'."
The video for "
Higher" was filmed with director
Ramon Boutisveth (All That Remains, For Today, Trivium). The band also partnered with Harley Davidson for this video and the video features a number of Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Murdered Love is P.O.D.'s first new album in four years and sees the band reunited with long-time producer
Howard Benson who also produced the band's massive Satellite album alongside hit albums for
Kelly Clarkson,
Theory Of A Deadman, Daughtry, and My Chemical Romance. The first single from the new album is currently #6 on the Active Rock
Radio Charts and is P.O.D.'s highest charting radio song in over nine years. USA Today raves, ""SoCal rap-metal band brings back the boom after a four-year absence, sounding like the hook-laden harbinger of a spiritual apocalypse."
Revolver Magazine decalres, "Still building big-chorus riff bombs designed to set off the youth of the nation…Murdered Love is best when all the anthemic stuff comes equipped with the sort of infectious grooves that the band's SoCal stomping ground is known for."
P.O.D. (Payable on Death) formed in 1992 has logged a remarkable array of achievements, including worldwide sales exceeding 10 million and a series of chart topping radio hits. With a 15-year career under their belts,
P.O.D. has released seven studio albums, received three Grammy Award nominations, contributed to numerous motion picture soundtracks, and toured the world over many times. With their third studio album, The Fundamental Elements of Southtown, they achieved their initial mainstream success - the album was certified Platinum by the RIAA in 2000. Their following studio album, Satellite, continued the band's success with the hit singles, "
Alive" and "Youth of the Nation," pushing it to go triple platinum. The band's line-up consists of vocalist
Sonny Sandoval, drummer Wuv Bernardo, guitarist Marcos Curiel, and bassist Traa Daniels.
