Pierce and drummer Mike Luce, the band took shape when they met bassist Stevie Benton in Dallas. The addition of charismatic frontman Dave Williams in 1998 completed the lineup that would soon take the rock world by storm. The band's breakthrough came with their hit single "Bodies," which dominated rock radio in the summer of 2001. The song, inspired by their wild live shows and stage-diving fans, became an anthem of the nu-metal era. Their debut album "Sinner" went platinum in just six months, eventually selling over 1.5 million copies. Success came through a combination of factors: strategic marketing by Wind-Up Records (including a 1,500-strong street team dubbed "Drowning Victims"), exposure through WWE, and a breakthrough performance at Ozzfest 2001, where they moved from the third stage to the main stage. However, the band faced two major challenges. First, "Bodies" was temporarily pulled from radio after 9/11 due to its lyrics. Then, tragedy struck on August 14, 2002, when Dave Williams was found unresponsive on the tour bus. At just 30 years old, Williams passed away from an undiagnosed heart condition called cardiomyopathy, not from drugs or alcohol as initially speculated. Williams was remembered as one of the most genuine and beloved figures in the metal scene, known for his infectious personality and kindness to fans. Despite the devastating loss, the band chose to continue, believing it would honor Williams' legacy. They went on to record several more albums with different vocalists, including Jason Jones, Ryan McCombs, and Jason Moreno. This video tells the story of a band that achieved their dreams, faced unimaginable loss, and found the strength to carry on, cementing their place in rock history.
