Drowning Pool has a new album, Full Circle, coming out on July 24th. Bassist Steve Benton recently discussed the album with Live-Metal.net.
Said Benton:
One thing with this record, we wanted to try to make it as diverse as possible, go a lot of different directions that we hadn't had the opportunity to do yet. At the same time, there's a lot of stuff on it that's gonna sound like old Drowning Pool stuff. You can't change who you are. You can't just one day wake up and decide to make a record and be a complete 180. But we did try to throw a few curves in there and kind of pursue some avenues that we hadn't had the opportunity to do so far. But I'd say the two songs you've heard so far-"No More" and "Soldiers"-those are two completely different ends of the spectrum, as far as the record goes. That's definitely one thing we were going for with this record, so hopefully that comes across once you have the entire collection of songs together and are able to listen to it from start to finish.
Benton also spoke about changing singers and collaborating with Nikki Sixx. Read the full interview here.
