MUDVAYNE ANNOUNCE FIRST EVER FAN-GENERATED ALBUM

BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE OUT NOVEMBER 27

BAND OFFERS DIEHARD FANS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITYTO CREATE ALBUM AT MUDVAYNE.COM

New York, NY - Hard rock radio pioneers Mudvayne and Epic Records are proud
to announce the upcoming release, By The People, For The People which is set
to hit stores November 27th. The highly anticipated new album consists of
several live recordings, rarities, demos, as well as two new recordings
including the first single, "Dull Boy" - which was produced by Dave Fortman
and recorded in New Orleans - as well as an incredible never before heard
cover of the Police's "King of Pain."



The album is aptly titled By The People, For The People, because it is
entirely fan-generated. Mudvayne is creating history by offering their
diehard fans the opportunity to participate in creating the entire content
of the album. Starting on September 26th, fans will be able to visit
www.mudvayne.com and
www.myspace.com/mudvayne to help pick the
track listing, submit fan generated album artwork, and participate in
creating the video for first single, "Dull Boy" which makes its radio debut
in early October. "We have some of the greatest fans and this album is a way
for us to give back to those that have supported us throughout the years,"
states Chad Gray of Mudvayne.



By The People, For The People affords Mudvayne a chance to give back to
their loyal fans that have stood by them throughout their entire career, one
that exploded in 2000 with the release of the MTV2-award winning video,
"Dig." This album spotlights the disruption of traditional media and the
band's desire to further connect with their fans.



Every Mudvayne studio album has received gold certification including
Mudvayne's last release, 2005's "Lost And Found," which debuted at #2 on the
Billboard Top 200 and generated the hit single, "Happy?" which skyrocketed
to take the #1 spot at radio and remained there for an incredible 10 weeks.
Mudvayne has sold over 4.5 million units worldwide, resulting in an
incredible 6 gold-certified releases. In addition, the band was also
nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 2005 Grammy's.



Singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett are on tour with HELLYEAH for
the remainder of 2006. However, Mudvayne returns with a new studio album in
2008.
