Make it three in a row.

P.O.D.'s new album finds them in familiar territory on the Billboard charts. When Angels and Serpents Dance, the band's first effort with Columbia and INO Records, debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 - exactly the peak position of their previous two albums, which were forged for Atlantic Records. When Angels... is also the most-downloaded rock album on iTunes and holds the top position on SoundScan's Contemporary Christian chart this week.

"After 16 years of being in P.O.D., the loyalty of The Warriors [P.O.D.'s fanbase] continue to make us look good," said lead singer Sonny Sandoval in a press release posted on inorecords.com. "We are truly grateful and blown away to see another Top 10 debut."

The new album marks the return of guitarist Marcos Curiel, whose work was featured on the band's breakthrough effort, Satellite (2001).
