The First Time Mudvayne Have Offered a 'Makeup Experience'

Mudvayne are celebrating the 25th anniversary of L.D. 50 with a U.S. tour that starts in Dubuque, Iowa on Sept. 11. Static-X, who will be celebrating 25 years since the release of Wisconsin Death Trip, are opening most dates of the tour.

Meet and greet opportunities at Mudvayne shows have been fairly rare in the past. Gray said on social media that this is the first time the "VIP Backstage Pre-Show Makeup Experience" is being offered.

"Most of you know that we don't do meet and greets (because of the amount of time it takes me to get ready), so I'm personally going to change that. But on a very limited basis," Gray wrote. "I'm only going to do one meet and greet with you and your guest per town."

Looking Back At L.D. 50

Mudvayne released L.D. 50 on Aug. 22, 2000, almost immediately garnering national attention for the Peoria, Illinois metal band.

The music, while being played by a bunch of guys with their faces painted as if they walked off the set of a horror film, showed more of a technical style compared to other commercially successful metal acts at that time. Slipknot's Shawn "Clown" Crahan served as a co-executive producer for their breakout album.

Metal Hammer named L.D. 50 one of the 20 Best Metal Albums of 2000 behind the strength of its first single, "Dig."

Mudvayne, "Dig"

"The deranged nu metal smash hit filled dance floors and boasted a memorable video with an aliens-oin-acid vibe," Metal Hammer said in its review. "But the rest of the album was interesting in its own way, with hardcore and jazz influences popping up alongside Chad Gray's fearsome outbursts and the on-trend, downtuned guitars."
