Since forming Mudvayne in 1996 and Hellyeah in 2006, Chad Gray’s voice has captured metal hearts all across the world. Gray wants likeminded people who have been along for the ride to join him and go down the rabbit hole in celebrating “30 years of Madnesss” with both Mudvayne and Hellyeah songs.
In 1996, Mudvayne was founded in Peoria, Illinois. The band has sold more than five million records worldwide and is well-known for its sound experiments, masks, uniforms, and body and face paint. Marcus Rafferty, live rhythm guitarist, lead vocalist Chad Gray, bassist Ryan Martinie, drummer Matthew McDonough, and lead guitarist Greg Tribbett make up the ensemble. The single “Dig” from their debut album “L.D. 50” (2000) helped the band gain popularity in the late 1990s Peoria underground music scene. Mudvayne took a break in 2010 after putting out four more albums and toured for almost ten years. After getting back together in 2021 and carrying on with live performances, they released “Hurt People Hurt People,” their first new song in sixteen years, on August 28, 2025.
