Founded in 1996 by C.J. Pierce, Stevie Benton, Mike Luce, and the unforgettable lead singer Dave Williams, Drowning Pool quickly became a force in the nu-metal scene. Their debut album "Sinner" solidified their place in the genre, giving us iconic songs like "Bodies," "Tear Away," and "Sinner." Dave Williams' unique vocals became an essential part of Drowning Pool's identity, which included the striking chant "Let the body hit the floor" in "Bodies." Williams' untimely passing in 2002, however, left a void. Despite this tragic loss, Drowning Pool continued their musical journey with Jason Jones (2003-2005), Jasen Moreno (2012-2023), and Ryan McCombs (2005-2011, 2023-present) sequentially stepping in as lead singers with founding members Pierce, Benton, and Luce upholding the band's legacy.
These are photos from concerts where Drowning Pool played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
