“DO WHAT YOU DO” AT #1 FOR FIVE WEEKS
ON BDS/R&R ACTIVE ROCK CHARTS
AS NEW SINGLE “SCARLET LETTERS” IMPACTS RADIO THIS WEEK
BAND TOURING THE U.S. ON HEADLINING “THE NEW GAME TOUR”
With their “Do What You Do” single perched at #1 for five consecutive weeks on the BDS/R&R Active Rock charts and at #1 for four weeks and counting at Mediabase, MUDVAYNE–one of the most creative and distinctive bands in the aggressive music world, with sales exceeding 5 million units worldwide–is impacting radio this week with their new single “Scarlet Letters.”
In a review of THE NEW GAME CD, ABCLOCAL.GO.COM praised the melody-driven “Scarlet Letters,” noting that the song “showcases Gray's talent in going from haunting, melancholy crooning to patented sandpaper growls and screams without warning” (November 18, 2008).
THE NEW GAME–released in November 2008 via Epic Records–is an electrical storm of musical fury, a lesson in controlled chaos that tempers hard rock, heavy metal, prog rock and sadistic splatters of melody into an onslaught of metallic highs and emotional lows, rushing surges and pronounced blows. The band–CHAD GRAY (vocals), GREG TRIBBETT (guitars), RYAN MARTINIE (bass) and MATT MCDONOUGH (drums)–produced THE NEW GAME with Dave Fortman (Evanescence).
MUDVAYNE continues to tour America on their headlining “The New Game Tour,” with dates through March 28. The current tour dates are below.
