It’s a mildly concerning sign when the main fact about a band’s singer is he is the first to record 3 albums with them, but consistent line up issues aside (including a tragedy), Drowning Pool did manage to churn out 6 albums between 2001 and 2016. Now Strike A Nerve marks their 7th full length…

For most of the bands that reformed in the wake of the great gig gold rush of the noughties the following years have been a rather understated epilogue in terms of recorded output.
