No. 1412001·nu-metal·4 blocks
Bodies
The explosive 'Let the bodies hit the floor' chug that made Drowning Pool's 2001 debut a nu-metal staple. C.J. Pierce tracked Sinner at Ocean Studios, Burbank with producer Jay Baumgardner (mixed at NRG), driving a high-gain Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier in Drop C — a whole step below Drop D. It's a relentless, wah-inflected mid-tempo grind: thick low end, tight palm mutes, and a forward midrange that keeps the riff from disappearing under the chorus's shout.
