Mudvayne return with video for Hurt People Hurt People first new song in 16 years

Mudvayne are looking towards their future as they also celebrate their impactful past. The song arrives on the eve of the band's L.D. 50 25th Anniversary headline tour, which kicks off on September 11 and runs through October 26. L.D. 50 was the band's debut studio album, arriving in August 2000 via Epic Records and established the band as a new yet major player in the hard rock scene. It eventually went on to achieve a Gold certification. Years after its release, both Revolver and Metal Hammer deemed the album an essential of the '00s metal class, rightfully so.

"Hurt People Hurt People' has probably been around since the beginning of man," says Gray about the song. "Certainly longer than the phrase ever existed. The endless cycle of projecting our pain onto others. I think I wrote this song as a reminder to myself to break the cycle. We create our own suffering, our own hurt. It's time for us to create self-love and let go of the pain. It was never ours to begin with."

The tour will feature support from Static-X, while Vended will open. All dates are below.

ABOUT MUDVAYNE:
Just before the turn of the century, Mudvayne rose up from the twisted heart of the country and redefined what heavy music could sound like, look like, and feel like. Hailing from Peoria, IL, the Gold-certified GRAMMY® Award-nominated quartet psychotically pushed metal to its breaking point at both ends, stretching their enigmatic sound from moments of mind-bending musicality to bloodletting melody. They carved out a catalog without comparison 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 trophy with bullet-holes in their foreheads) and overtaking social media with their seminal breakout "Dig." As it would be hard to imagine the advent of "djent" or nu-metal's resurgence without them, Loudwire cited L.D. 50 among "The Top 50 Nu-Metal Albums of All Time," while Revolver christened them "one of the biggest metal institutions of the 2000s." Following a decade-plus hiatus, the group 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 leap forward with the release of their first new music since 2009. They're back with the brutal and bulletproof anthem "Hurt People Hurt People," paving the way for their Alchemy Recordings/BMG debut. Welcome back to their fucked up world.
