The Warriors EP by P.O.D.
The Warriors EP is an EP by P.O.D., released in 1999. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Southtown”, on 15 lists with a best position of #36.
The Warriors EP was San Diego's P.O.D. saying thank you on the way to the big leagues: a stopgap put out through Tooth & Nail while the Christian nu metal band moved from Rescue Records to Atlantic, which produced it. Sonny Sandoval even included a message to the fans the band calls the warriors, thanking them for years of support.
The gimmick is the sound: every song is mixed as if it's crackling off an old phonograph, with fake vinyl hiss running under the riffs, a cheeky contrast with the band's bouncing, rap-laced heaviness. "Southtown" is the one that spread furthest, with Marcos Curiel's guitars chugging and Traa Daniels' bass slamming underneath.
