Drowning Pool Planning To Release New Single In September

Drowning Pool have revealed that they will be releasing a new single on September 20. The track will be the band’s first piece of music since reuniting with vocalist Ryan McCombs.

Guitarist C.J. Pierce told iHeart Radio the following:

“It was great working on the song together. It’s the first one with all of us back with Ryan, and we spent a lot of time on it. We started on it, actually, beginning of last year. And just between touring and stuff like that, we weren’t able to get it down yet. But the whole process, all of us working together, I mean, we literally sat down at a table and we all had different ideas and every one of us kind of approached the song in a different way. And then we came together as a band. It was just amazing. That sounds like a Drowning Pool song. That’s what we want it to sound like. It sounds like us with Ryan.”

He also added the following about the lyrics:

“We spent a lot of time trying different things out to make sure all the bases were covered and we came across with the message lyric-wise too. We had a couple of different rewrites and redrafts just to make sure the flow is right to get the point across. It’s more of a general thing about what’s going on now. We definitely need a big change — not specific to any country or government or religion as much as just as a whole. It’s more [about] planet earth.”
