Drowning Pool, the legendary band known for their high-octane performances and chart-topping hits, is celebrating the enduring legacy of their iconic 2001 single, “Bodies,” with the release of an official lyric video. The track, from the band’s debut album Sinner, is featured in the trailer for the upcoming season of the Paramount+ thriller drama series Yellowjackets.
“Bodies” also made it’s way on to the American Idol stage as contestant Kobyn Melton performed Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” with Carrie Underwood offering support.
Released on June 5, 2001, Sinner went platinum the same year, and “Bodies” remains one of the band’s most popular tracks. As the album approaches its 25th anniversary, Drowning Pool is continuing to maintain their place in rock history with an exciting lineup of new releases and live shows.
“Bodies” faced misinterpretations and controversy, with its lyrics taken out of context. Nevertheless, their music has persisted, embraced by the very culture that birthed it. “Bodies” remains an enduring anthem, not just for Drowning Pool but for metal culture as a whole. Its legacy lives on, inspiring new generations of fans. Guitarist C.J. Pierce captures the essence of their dedication: “I’d play ‘Bodies’ five times a night if people really wanted it that bad!” The song’s timeless appeal transcends generations, resonating with both the seasoned and the fresh-faced.
In addition to the lyric video release, Drowning Pool is hitting the road in support of Godsmack for their Spring 2025 European tour. The tour will kick off on March 22, 2025, at Arena Sofia in Sofia, Bulgaria. Fans attending the shows will have the exclusive opportunity to meet the band through VIP meet and greet packages available for this run.
