Album Info
Murdered Love is the eighth studio album by American Christian metal band P.O.D., released on July 10, 2012. It debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 17 with sales of over 16,000 in its first week in the U.S. Murdered Love is the follow-up to When Angels & Serpents Dance and it sees the band reunited with long-time producer Howard Benson who also produced the band's The Fundamental Elements of Southtown, Satellite and Payable on Death albums. Prior to the album's official release, three songs were made available for download, all were recorded with producer and engineer Blake La Grange; two of which, "Eyez" and a demo version of "On Fire", available for free on the band's website. The album features guest appearances from Hatebreed's Jamey Jasta, Cypress Hill's Sen Dog, and Psycho Realm's Sick Jacken. A deluxe edition of the album, featuring acoustic and bonus tracks, was released on October 22, 2013.
"Lost in Forever (Scream)", the album's lead single, charted at No. 12 on the mainstream rock charts, No. 1 on Active Rock, and No. 1 on Christian Rock. The music video was released on May 14, 2012 and has since received over 3,300,000 views. The second single, "Higher", was released in late October and "Beautiful", the third and final single from Murdered Love, was released in March.
A sample of "West Coast Rock Steady", the fifth track off the album with Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, was featured on ESPN. The song "Beautiful" was featured on an episode of the Comedy Central television show Workaholics.
An edited version of the album omitting track 11 ("I Am") was released to Christian stores. The purpose behind the deletion is the line "I know you are the one and only son of god, but tell me, who the fuck is he?" The word "fuck" is backmasked on the song. The song also contains the line "Since I'm a little strange, my daddy called me a faggot".
