Word of what Mudvayne has been working on in the studio has been lacking for a long. After a break of about 11 years, the progressive nu metal band was hesitant to fully commit to the concept of returning to the studio when they reunited in 2021. That attitude has gradually altered, though, as frontman Chad Gray said in October 2023 that the group had participated in some early demoing of their first new work since 2009, albeit with some difficulties. Now, Gray disclosed that the band’s plans for new music have advanced significantly in a SiriusXM Octane tape that was shot as part of a public Q&A at the “Welcome To Rockville” festival in Daytona Beach, Florida.
It is so real, and it is so beautiful, and it keeps me coming back, you guys keep me coming back, you guys keep me coming to the f*cking table. And we got new shit coming, so get ready motherf*ckers, it’s coming. Chad Gray
The first time I heard [the new Mudvayne material] — and these are rough mixes — I was literally balling on the couch

Additionally, Mudvayne‘s Instagram account commented on the video below, saying, “WE ARE COMING THRU THE F*CKING TABLE SOON.” In the meantime, Mudvayne has partnered with his own label, Alchemy Recordings, in collaboration with Rise Records, according to Danny Wimmer, creator of the rock and metal concert production company juggernauts Danny Wimmer Presents.
