ABOUT MUDVAYNE:

Just before the turn of the century, Mudvayne rose up from the twisted heart ofthe country and redefined what heavy music could sound like, look like, andfeel like. Hailing from Peoria, IL, the Gold-certified GRAMMY Award-nominated quartet psychotically pushed metal to its breaking point at bothends, stretching their enigmatic sound from moments of mind-bendingmusicality to bloodletting melody. They carved out a catalog withoutcomparison highlighted by a triptych of Gold-selling classics, including "L.D.50" [2000], "The End of All Things To Come" [2002], and "Lost and Found" [2005], which bowed at #2 on the Billboard 200. Beyond contributing music to franchises such as Saw, the band earned a place in the zeitgeist, achieving cultural recognition with an infamous MTV VMA moment (accepting a trophywith bullet-holes in their foreheads) and overtaking social media with theirseminal breakout "Dig". As it would be hard to imagine the advent of "djent" ornu-metal's resurgence without them, Loudwire cited "L.D. 50" among "The Top50 Nu-Metal Albums of All Time," while Revolver christened them "one of the biggest metal institutions of the 2000s." Following a decade-plus hiatus, thegroup mounted a powerful comeback in 2021, headlining major rock festivals,playing packed arenas and amphitheaters with the likes of Rob Zombie and Megadeth, and transfixing another generation of fans. Mudvayne take a much-deserved victory lap with the L.D. 50 25th Anniversary Tour, but they also leapforward with the release of their first new music since 2009. They’re back withthe brutal and bulletproof anthem "Hurt People Hurt People", paving the wayfor their Alchemy Recordings/BMG debut. Welcome back to their fucked upworld...
