courtesy of Blabbermouth.Net Nov.13, 2008 MUDVAYNE's new album, "The New Game", is being streamed in its entirety via Yahoo! Music's "Early Edition." The CD is due out November 18 via Epic Records.MUDVAYNE is launching a new interactive mystery contest as a tie-in to "The New Game", according to the group's publicist. The competition, also called "The New Game", is described as a "unique and immersive experience" that will begin with fans finding items inside the album packaging necessary to play. Among those will be a unique code number with which to register at Mudvayne.com, 11 mugshot photos of different "suspects," and a back story for each suspect and their situation. One suspect must be eliminated every week and the ongoing mystery will also involve clues in the band's lyrics, knowledge of MUDVAYNE's history, and further hints in the video for current single "Do What You Do". The grand prize winner will earn a "VIP Laminate for Life," good for all future MUDVAYNE shows. One runner-up will win an autographed Washburn guitar, while 10 more will get signed copies of the deluxe edition of "The New Game". Official rules and other info will be posted at the band's official web site on November 18, the same day that "The New Game" hits stores. Drummer Matt McDonough told The Pulse of Radio that it's vital for bands to find new ways to engage their fans as CD sales decline. "I just see a lot of people all around, from every angle, from the record labels to the musicians to the managers, everyone's trying to just figure out how to continue their careers and make things work," he said. "I think if everyone, you know, just is willing to accommodate the twists and turns that come, I think music is, you know, going to continue to be an exciting thing and I want to be a part of it." The video for "Do What You Do" premiered on Monday (November 10) on MTV and MTV2. MUDVAYNE is currently on the road to promote the arrival of "The New Game" through December 20. |
