P.O.D. has premiered the new video for the band’s forthcoming new single, “Higher” on VEVO. “Higher” will be the 2nd single from the band’s new album, 'Murdered Love' (Razor & Tie) available in-stores and online now.

The Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival also recently caught up with front man Sonny Sandoval for this exclusive new interview about the band’s music video. Check out the interview and video teaser clip here.

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 declares, “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.”
