Mudvayne is a Peoria, Illinois, USA based alternative metal quartet started in 1996.

The music of Mudvayne has been described as "Math Metal", a term coined by drummer, Matt McDonough. The term was used to explain the intricate nature of the music. Though the music is very complex, it does not quite fit officially under the "Math Metal" label, which is why Alternative Metal has been used to more accurately describe the sound. The band often showcases Ryan Martinie's funky bass playing as well as McDonough's use of alternating between single and double bass pedal drumming. In addition, the guitar playing of Greg Tribbett is very layered and unorthodox with its odd-meter timings, which helps in giving life to Chad Gray's vocals.
