Mudvayne unveil a second track with lyric video titled “Sticks And Stones”

On September 10, Mudvayne‘s second comeback track, “Sticks And Stones,” made its debut online, as reported from theprp. This new song comes after the progressive nu metal group’s first new song in sixteen years, “Hurt People Hurt People,” which was released last month. Below is a lyric video for this new audio release. A 7″ that includes both of these tracks is currently accessible via this link. January 2026 is when that vinyl pressing is anticipated to ship.

I was always told ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me’… it’s a great nursery rhyme, but I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve carried a lot of words throughout my life as if they were just spoken to me. The reality is — they do hurt. I’ve tried my best to shed them, but when they come from dear friends, family — people that are supposed to love you — the words have teeth and they won’t let go. Blood doesn’t wash out; it stains. I think I’m just trying to remind people to love their children. Don’t use them as a bullet to fire into your ex or whomever you’re with now. They’re innocent and they are impressionable. And trust me, as a child, that was used as a weapon, your words will hurt them… long after you say them.” Chad Gray
