DROWNING POOL Comes 'Full Circle' On Third CD

August 7, 2007

The Pulse of Radio (formerly Launch Radio Networks) reports: DROWNING POOL issues its third album on Tuesday (August 7),titled "Full Circle". The disc also introduces the band's third lead singer, former SOIL frontman Ryan McCombs. DROWNING POOL's original vocalist, Dave Williams, died of a heart defect while on Ozzfest in the summer of 2002. His replacement, Jason "Gong" Jones, left the band after just one record due to musical and creative differences. Guitarist C.J. Pierce told The Pulse of Radio that DROWNING POOL was determined to carry on despite the turnover. "We just love writing music together," he said. "We've been through a lot. I mean, every band goes through the ups and downs. Obviously we had a very extreme situation losing our buddy Dave, but we love music, we want to keep writing good records, and this is pretty much it. With Ryan, you know, he fits in right away. I mean, this is the third record, third singer, you know, the lineup's not gonna change. This is DROWNING POOL from here on out, and I'm looking forward to many more records with these guys."

"Full Circle" features a couple of songs co-written by MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx.

The album's first single, "Soldiers", was inspired by DROWNING POOL's visits to the Middle East last year to perform for U.S. troops.

The band is participating in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles with members of the non-profit organization Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) to discuss the current crisis for U.S. soldiers facing severe mental health care issues upon their return home.

DROWNING POOL recently announced that 50 cents of each ticket sale from its current tour is going to IAVA, with another 50 cents going to the USO. The trek stops in Great Falls, Montana on Thursday (August 9).
