Drawing many Slipknot comparisons, Mudvayne too wear crazy costumes onstage, but instead of masks, they wear frightening makeup for a chaotic appearance that goes well with their frenzied brand of metal. Banking time signatures, radical shifts in tempo, and vocals that go from semi-rapping to death-metal gurgling to unhinged screaming and even to clean singing (on later albums) are the hallmarks of Mudvayne's music. Their major label debut, <I>L.D. 50</I>, yielded the hit "Dig" in 2000; one year later they released the concept album <I>The Beginning of All Things to End</I>, which further cemented their place in the minds of America's angry teenagers. On 2005's <I>Lost and Found</I> Mudvayne dropped the facade, emerging in plain clothes without makeup on their most personal record to date. With four R.I.A.A.-certified gold albums, Mudvayne continue to write new records and deliver for their fans, whom they let choose the track listing of 2007's B-sides and rarities compilation <I>By the People, For the People</I>. - Jen GuyreAlt Metalen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:11:47 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.54519&rws=%2Fmudvayne%2Fmusic-videos.rss Formed in Illinois in 1996, Mudvayne have risen as one of the top players in the nu-metal scene.
