The Profile

Drowning Pool refers to two American music groups: an experimental/industrial outfit from Los Angeles active in the 1980s, and a Dallas nu metal band formed in 1996 known for the hit Bodies and the 2001 debut Sinner. Vocalist Dave Williams of the nu metal band died in 2002.

LA lineup cited in reviews: Andrew Crane (vocals), Adam Elesh (guitar), Jon Thomas (drums), Brett Smith (bass/keys). The LA-era albums reviewed were released in 1986 (Viva Records) and 1987 (Scarface Charley). Sinner is the only album with singer Dave Williams (who died in 2002).

DeBaser’s Drowning Pool coverage spans two distinct American bands sharing the same name: the 1980s Los Angeles experimental/industrial project and the Dallas nu metal group. The LA-era albums earn glowing praise for immersive, psyche-probing atmospheres. The nu metal debut Sinner gets a lukewarm verdict despite memorable singles like Bodies and Tear Away. Quotes and works below connect the dots between these parallel Drowning Pools.
