Mudvayne fifth studio album
|
Speculation began with Mudvayne's fifth studio album during the recording of The New Game. Mudvayne worked on the two albums simultaneously. It has been confirmed for 2010 release. Recording, Production, and lyrical themes Mudvayne frontman Chad Gray recently confirmed to Noisecreep that the band's next studio CD is "completely done." He said, "There's still no title for it yet, and we have no idea when we are putting it out ... no idea what's going on with it. This will come out whenever it comes out. We just recorded it to do it. We had time, and there wasn't anything going on last summer, so we went in, and recorded it." according to Gray the new album is "a little more retro for MUDVAYNE" from a songwriting point of view. "We've been kind of making this natural progression, and I think for this one, we just sort of naturally regressed," he told Noisecreep. "We took the smarter songwriting guys that we've become and mixed it with the not-smart songwriting guys that we were ... I mean, we used to just take 20 parts, cram it together, and call it a song. Over time, playing in a band, you kind of know what to expect. It doesn't really make it easier, but you kind of have this thing in your head that you kind of know where you're going. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel before entering the tunnel. It's faint, and dim, but it' s there." MUDVAYNE's forthcoming album was produced by Dave Fortman's (SLIPKNOT, EVANESCENCE) right-hand man, Jeremy Parker. Packaging It has been confirmed by Mudvayne that the new album's packaging will be printed entirely in blacklight-reactive ink. The band posted a video on youtube showing fans what the packaging will look like under a blacklight.
