Dallas-based heavy metal group Drowning Pool was one of the most promising bands of the early 2000s. Their debut album, Sinner, was certified platinum within six weeks of its release while their first single, "Bodies," was one of the most frequently aired videos on MTV by a new band. They reached out to an ever-greater audience with dynamic performances at Wrestlemania XVIII and Ozzfest during the summers of 2001 and 2002. Drowning Pool experienced success from the outset. When a copy of their first demo reached members of Sevendust in 2004, they were invited to tour with the industrial metal group. Produced by Papa Roach, Orgy, Godsmack, and Coal Chamber producer Jay Baumgardner, their first album, Sinner, became an instant hit. Their sophomore effort, Desensitized, followed several months later in 2004. In 2007 their third album, Full Circle, was released. This album promises to reward the band's existing core fan base while continuing to evolve and attract new ones.
