Mudvayne is an American heavy metal band formed in Peoria, Illinois, in 1996.[1] Known for their sonic experimentation, face and body paint, masks and uniforms, the band has sold over five million records worldwide.[2] The group consists of lead guitarist Greg Tribbett, drummer Matthew McDonough, lead vocalist Chad Gray, bassist Ryan Martinie and live rhythm guitarist Marcus Rafferty. The band became popular in the late-1990s Peoria underground music scene,[citation needed] and they found success with the single "Dig" from their debut album L.D. 50 (2000). After releasing four more albums and touring relentlessly for nearly a decade, Mudvayne went on hiatus in 2010. They reunited in 2021 and continue to perform live.[3][4]
