Drowning Pool started out as three-piece Alternative-Metal band in the late '90s. Guitarist Christian Joseph Pierce, bassist Stevie Benton and drummer Mike Luce began rehearsing and playing live around their hometown of Dallas, Texas USA; they eventually added vocalist Dave Williams to complete the line-up.

At that point they recorded a demo which caught the attention of Wind-up Records who signed the band and released in June 2001 their powerful debut full-length disc, "Sinner"; with its first single, "Bodies", the album made an impressive impact amidst a sea of releases from other NuMetal acts, the track peaked at #12 on The Modern Rock chart and the CD crashed into the top 20 of The Billboard 200.
In August of 2002 lead singer Dave Williams was found dead in the band's tour bus, the coroner's toxicology report has officially confirmed that Williams' death was due to natural causes and was not drug or alcohol related, as had been widely speculated.
The remaining members decided to continue and recorded a new song, featuring guest vocalist Rob Zombie, for the soundtrack album to the Fox Motion Picture "Daredevil".
In late 2003 Jason 'Gong' Jones had joined Drowning Pool as new lead singer, the next year the band released a new single entitled "Step Up" which was initially included on the soundtrack "The Punisher: The Album" a compilation of modern Metal tracks from various artists, the single hit #7 on Active Rock chart and helped send the band's second album, "Desensitized", to #17 on The Billboard Top 200 chart upon its April 2004 release; the 11-song set contained two more Mainstream Rock top 30 hits: "Love And War" and "Killin' Me".
The following year 'Gong' Jones left the fold and subsequently formed a new band, AM Conspiracy. The three remaining members then recruited former SOiL frontman Ryan McCombs who made his live debut in Dallas with the band at Ozzfest in August of 2005.

Two years later Drowning Pool released their third album and first for Eleven Seven Music, "Full Circle"; it contains the Hot Mainstream Rock top 30 hit "Soldiers".
