With "Do What You Do," the first single from their new album, The New Game, Mudvayne aren't really doing anything that new, they're actually... well, doing what they do. To this, we have two things to say. 1) If you've already broken new ground and done something innovative and challenging, what more do you have to prove? 2) If it ain't broke, just do what you do. click "more" to watch the video and check out our video interview with the band.

On October 11, Mudvayne's new single "Do What You Do" debuted in the top 20 of Billboard's mainstream rock chart, suggesting the song will do what their last radio hit "Happy" did -- penetrate the masses with the kind of odd meters and progressive rhythms usually reserved for more of a niche crowd and reaffirm Mudvayne's dominion over most of their major label metal peers. To extend their reach over the masses, the band recently hired video director Frankie Nasso (All That Remains, Hatebreed) to shoot videos for "Do What You Do," "Fish Out of Water" and the title track for Mudvayne's new album The New Game, which drops November 18.

After putting their fourth record on hold last summer so singer Chad Gray could tour with his other band Hellyeah, Mudvayne are finally wrapping up the disc with producer Dave Fortman (Slipknot, Evanescence). The band has completed tracking drums and guitars and is about to start recording bass. Vocals will follow and mastering should be completed by October 1 for a late November release, Fortman tells HeadbangersBlog.com. The album is tentatively called The New Game and will be followed six months later by a second full record.

As for the first disc, Fortman says Mudvayne fans should be pleased, but at the same time, the band has dug into its arsenal and pulled out some new weapons. "It's heavy and has great hooks, but it also has some moments that are a little more rock n’ roll that are really cool," Fortman says. "It's not anything drastic, but every now and then you’ll catch a little hint of old-school rock. Also, the tones are a little more earthy sounding and a little warmer than [2005's] Lost and Found."
