Sinner is the debut studio album by metal band Drowning Pool. The album is considered the band's most successful, reaching platinum only six weeks after its release. This was most likely due in part to "Bodies" which remains the band's most well-known song. This was the second overall album and only LP to feature original lead singer Dave Williams. While touring in support of Sinner, he died on August 14, 2002 from heart failure. The album debuted at #14 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album was released with a Parental Advisory sticker, but later the album got edited to get it removed.
