Drowning Pool
Forever attached to one enormous song, and entirely comfortable with that. 'Bodies' still detonates, and the rest of the set hits harder than expected.

About Drowning Pool
Drowning Pool is a nu metal band from Dallas, TX, formed in 1996.
Drowning Pool formed in Dallas in 1996 and emerged with the nu-metal and alternative-metal wave of the early 2000s. Their debut album, fronted by vocalist Dave Williams, went platinum on the strength of "Bodies", a song whose shouted count-off became one of the most widely recognised hooks of the era. Williams died in 2002, and the band has continued with a succession of vocalists since.
Their material leans on downtuned riffs, blunt choruses and a hard-rock backbone, and the group has remained an active touring act for more than two decades.
