P.O.D.
Payable on Death (abbreviated P.O.D.) is an American Christian metal band formed in 1992. The band’s line-up consists of vocalist Sonny Sandoval, drummer Wuv Bernardo, guitarist Marcos Curiel, and bassist Traa Daniels. They have sold over 12 million records worldwide. Over the course of their career, the band has received three Grammy Award nominations, contributed to numerous motion picture soundtracks and toured internationally. 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 singles, “Alive” and “Youth of the Nation”, pushing it to go triple platinum. (More from Wikipedia)
Dominated by the vocal presence of lead singer Scott Stapp, Creed was a major force in the post-grunge rock world during the 1990’s. Their spiritual lyrics led many to group the band with alternative and heavy metal Christian acts of the period like P.O.D. (which stands for “Payable On Death”), though the band tried to distance themselves from Christian contemporary musicians.
