Peoria IL, United States (1996 – present)

Mudvayne is an alternative metal band formed in 1996 in Peoria, Illinois and released their first EP in 1997. The EP received local attention, but it would be another three years until they would hit it big. At this time, bassist Shawn Barclay left the band, and was replaced by Ryan Martinie, who is now considered one of the best metal bassists of all time. Mudvayne is distinguished for it’s complex basslines, trademark drumming, tempo signature changes, and a recognizable singing style. The band has four Gold Certifications by the RIAA, for their first three albums and for a live performance DVD, (L)ive (D)osage 50. The band has sold over 6 million records worldwide.

The band earned their fame in 2000 with their first single PlayDig from their debut album L.D. 50. For this song, the band won first ever MTV2 Video Music Award. The popularity of this song, followed by singles PlayDeath Blooms and PlayNothing to Gein paved the way for the highly successful album, that sold over 500,000 copies in first four months. It was also #1 at Top Heatseekers. The album is considered to be one of the best alternative metal albums, and one of the best debut metal albums.

With their second effort, 2002’s The End of All Things to Come, they earned the title of the alternative dreadnought because of their innovative approach to the sound of the band. The band impressed once again with the album, and once again, certified Gold. The band changed make-up styles from multicolored face paint to dressing up as aliens, as seen in music video of a highly successful single, PlayNot Falling. Mudvayne’s reason for wearing such extravagant make-up was, according to the band, to add a visual aspect to their music and to set them apart from other run-of-the-mill metal bands.
