A new two-minute video message from drummer Mike Luce of Texas heavy rockers Drowning Pool can be viewed below.
Stated Luce: "We're gonna be releasing a video for every one of our songs that we have left on the latest record, on the 'Drowning Pool' record, and what we want from you guys, if you don't mind, please, if you would, log in to DrowningPool.com and tell us what songs you want to hear first — meaning which songs will be put into video form ahead of the rest, the ones out of the gate that you wanna see.
"And then just keep coming back to DrowningPool.com, 'cause like I said, every month, practically, we're gonna release a new video for each one of the last remaining songs. And then that's also gonna help us determine which songs you guys wanna hear first and foremost when we're back out on the road in 2011, which I know the rest of the guys and myself are looking forward to. So please go to DrowningPool.com, cast your votes, or submit your submissions for whichever song you think should be videoed first. Please come back to us and let us know and we'll see you in 2011."
Drowning Pool's self-titled fourth album was released in April via Eleven Seven Music. The CD was recorded at House of Loud (Breaking Benjamin, Paramore) with Kato Khandwala producing and David Bendeth mixing. Drummer Mike Luce previously stated about the album, "Sonically, 'Drowning Pool' squashes anything we've ever done. This record is really diverse too. There's some material that could've been taken right off 'Sinner', and there's some new stuff that goes beyond all expectations of this band."
Following their first hit with "Bodies" in 2001, Drowning Pool developed a special relationship with the military and their families, eventually visiting and performing for the soldiers in Kuwait and Iraq in 2005 and 2006, respectively. They were also instrumental in the passing of the Lane Evans Mental Health Care Reform providing better mental health care for our veterans. During a trip to Capitol Hill, they presented then-Senator Barack Obama with a petition which helped to pass the Lane Evans Mental Health Care Reform, which he sponsored in the Senate and went on to become law supporting the medical rights for our returning warriors. Drowning Pool engaged in a tour of South Korea for MWR (The US Army's family and morale, welfare and recreation organization) and on Memorial Day 2009 they even played Guantanamo Bay.
