Drowning Pool is a nu metal band from Dallas, Texas that rose to prominence
while playing along with Ozzy Osbourne during Ozzfest. Their 2001 debut
album, Sinner, was certified platinum within six months and the video for
its first single "Bodies" was frequently aired on various music video
channels. After the September 11th attacks the song "Bodies" was
infrequently heard on many radio stations due to the sensitivity of those
families' loved ones who jumped from the towers. In August 2002 the lead
singer of the band, Dave Williams, died in his tour bus of heart failure.

In 2003, the band found a new singer in Jason 'Gong' Jones who took place of
Dave Williams in the wake of his untimely death. They released the album
Desensitized in 2004.
Jason's departure from Drowning Pool was publically announced on June 14,
2005, due to irreconcilable differences. Jones would later join the
christian rock band A.M. Conspiracy. Almost immediately, rumours started
swirling concerning the new singer's identity, most of them pointing to
former SOiL singer Ryan McCombs. Drowning Pool announced that the singer
would be formally announced August 25 at the Ozzfest date in Dallas, Texas,
where Drowning Pool will do a one off performance on the main stage. On July
20th, website SMNNews received word from close sources that McCombs was
indeed the new singer, and that fact was confirmed by McCombs and Drowning
Pool alike the next week. |
