Few bands over the past decade have arrived with the meteoric rise Drowning Pool enjoyed in 2001. Following five years of gigging in the south, the band’s debut Wind-up single, “Bodies,” took over radio airwaves across the country from the moment it landed on programmers’ desks. The quartet emerged as the breakout metal band that year, as Sinner went on to sell more than 1.5 million copies.

In 2001, Drowning Pool kicked off Ozzfest, playing the first notes heard from the stage at the ungodly hour of 9:50am. Guitarist C.J. Pierce recalls, “It was awesome to set the mood for the tour. You would think that it would have been too early for a rock show, but we would have played at 6:00am next to the Porta Potties.” One year later, they were announced as one of the main stage headliners for Ozzfest 2002 and simply put, the band had arrived.

 

Guitarist C.J. Pierce poignantly stated, “This new Drowning Pool record is the most amazing work we have ever done as a rock band. Not only is this about a band continuing on and overcoming a most unfortunate situation, but it is also about personal triumph. I know our family, fans, and friends will be pleasantly surprised, amazed, stunned, and struck by the fact that this recording is heavier and deeper than our previous effort.” He continued “One track that stands out to me the most is a song called ‘This Life.’ It was the first guitar riff I wrote after the passing of our friend Dave Williams and one of the first three songs we wrote with our new frontman Jason Jones. This song pretty much sums it up. We are all in control of our destiny to a certain extent. Sometimes life throws you a curveball or somebody pulls the rug out from under your feet - but as we all know, life goes on, music goes on - such is life, and Drowning Pool will go on.”
