MUDVAYNE DRUMMER: 'WE'RE LETTING THE DUST SETTLE'

2/4/2010

Mudvayne has gone quiet since the December release of the band's fifth album, with singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett already recording the second Hellyeah CD and drummer Matt McDonough promoting his electronic music label, Atmoworks.com. We asked McDonough on Wednesday (February 3rd) what this all meant for Mudvayne's future: ["I think with any artist it's important to have moments to decompress, to kind of self-reflect. We're kind of reacting to this whirlwind of activity that we've done for years, and now we're kind of letting the dust settle on the rubble and just giving ourselves time to breathe, and to kind of come back after reflecting and deciding what we're gonna do."] SOUNDCUE (:20 OC: . . . we're gonna do.)
  • Mudvayne is not touring behind its latest album, a self-titled set that features the single "Scream With Me."
  • The record debuted weakly on the Billboard album chart, entering at Number 50 and selling just 34,000 copies in its first week on shelves.
  • Mudvayne singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett are now busy working with Hellyeah, with that band's drummer Vinnie Paul saying in a recent interview that they plan to tour for "18 months."
  • McDonough and business partner John Strate-Hootman have opened their own online music store called AtmoWorks.com. The site will release material from independent musicians that focus mainly on ambient music. McDonough himself is putting music out through the site under the name MjDawn.
