[[File:Mudvayne_259.jpg|frame|Not your typical Metal band.]]
Hailing from Peoria, Illinois, [[Mudvayne]] was formed in 1996, and is probably the only [[Heavy Metal|Metal]] band to cite [[Stanley Kubrick]] as an influence. Originally solely an [[Alternative Metal]] band, a lot had changed by the time they got to their debut, ''L.D. 50''. The band members dipped into their ''extremely'' technical backgrounds to combine elements of [[Progressive Rock]], [[Death Metal]], [[Thrash Metal]], [[Speed Metal]] and [[Hardcore Punk]] into something they called "math metal", which owed to the fact that the composition involved riffs chosen via numbers symbolism directly related to the song's subject matter (I.E., "Nothing To Gein", about [[Serial Killer]] Ed Gein, uses a riff which alternates in bars of four and five, because nine is a lunar number and Gein's activities were usually performed at night).▼
The band also performed in [[Horror]] movie-inspired face paint and masks and called themselves Kud, Gurrg, RyKnow, and sPaG. The album involved themes inspired by human evolution and ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', with samples taken from a recording of Terence McKenna discussing his theory that evolution was triggered by psychedelic mushrooms. ''The End of All Things to Come'' had the band wearing alien masks and performing under the names Chüd, Güüg, Rü-D, and Spüg. Since then, however, they've performed without stage names or disguises.▼
Their [[Self-Titled Album]] was printed entirely in blacklight-reactive ink, which makes the inserts appear to be blank.▼
