Marcos Curiel (born September 9, 1974) is the lead guitarist of rock bands P.O.D., The Accident Experiment and Daylight Division.

Both albums have had mainstream success, gaining multi Platinum certifications by the RIAA and three Grammy Award nominations.

However, Curiel insisted in a phone call from his San Diego home that he was kicked out by Atlantic Records management.

Curiel, who was always an outspoken member of P.O.D., was particularly upset because the band's ex-manager Tim Cook, not his bandmates, called to fire him.

The band announced to their fans via email through their mailing list and via their MySpace page, that Curiel had re-joined.

[2][3] The band featured Curiel on guitar, Pete Stewart (Grammatrain) with the vocals, Tony Delocht on bass, and Ernie Longoria on drums (both from Sprung Monkey).

In 2005, the band signed to indie label Rock Ridge Music, and their first full-length album, United We Fear, was released October 18, 2005.

Curiel and Longoria began jamming and they solidly evolved into a steady rock act opening for Foo Fighters, Drowning Pool, Staind, and other known bands.

In 2009, Curiel formed the band Daylight Division, with Joe Loeffler, formerly of Chevelle, Dave Buckner, of Papa Roach, and Lukas Rossi, of Rock Star Supernova.
