MUDVAYNE

SCORE THE SECOND HIGHEST CHART DEBUT WITH
“BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE”
THEIR FAN-GENERATED RARITIES COLLECTION

NEW STUDIO ALBUM DUE MID-2008

The fans have spoken.

This week, MUDVAYNE--who’ve sold over 4.5 million units sold worldwide, with each of their six releases certified gold in America--scored the second highest debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart, entering at #51 with their entirely fan-generated rarities collection BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE (Epic Records).

This news comes as the MUDVAYNE--featuring singer CHAD GRAY and guitarist GREG TRIBETT (also of HellYeah) and rounded out by drummer MATTHEW McDONOUGH and bassist RYAN MARTINIE--is preparing to record their fourth studio album for release in mid-2008. As always, the new disc will reunderline MUDVAYNE’s position as one of the most creative and distinctive bands in the heavy music world.

BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE is a 16-song offering--which features the new single “Dull Boy” and an unreleased cover of “King of Pain” by The Police--that consists of live recordings, rarities and demos chosen by fans at Mudvayne.com with the band deciding on the final selection. BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE includes demo versions of some of the group’s most popular songs such as “Death Blooms, “Fall To Sleep,” “Not Falling” and “Happy” as well as live and acoustic versions of many fan favorites (see below for track listing).

For the collection, the group allowed fans to create the album artwork and contribute liner notes. Fans have also been invited to participate in creating the video for the first single “Dull Boy.” Utilizing editing technology from the Eyespot and Kaltura websites, fans are able to select from all of MUDVAYNE’s past video clips, mix their own mash up version, overlay the “Dull Boy” audio and send it to the band all in one setting. On Eyespot, fans can choose from all MUDVAYNE videos to create their own personal clip, while on Kaltura fans have access to live and rare videos and are able to collaborate with other fans when making the video. Currently, MUDVAYNE are reviewing submissions and their favorite fan-generated video will be featured on the band’s MySpace page (www.myspace.com/mudvayne) and their website www.thisismudvayne.com and all other social networking sites with the band’s profile.
