Mudvayne have unleashed another new song, and it’s a big one. “Sticks and Stones” follows the band’s recent comeback single “Hurt People Hurt People,” marking the second taste of fresh music from the group after more than a decade away from the studio.
The track takes its title from the old childhood rhyme but twists it into something darker. Frontman Chad Gray leans into the idea that words can leave scars, exploring the emotional fallout of pain and trauma. Musically, the song builds tension with atmospheric moments before breaking open into the crushing heaviness that Mudvayne fans know and love.
“Sticks and Stones” arrives just as the band gears up to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut L.D. 50 with a fall tour. Fans can also grab the new single on a limited-edition double A-side vinyl alongside “Hurt People Hurt People.”
For longtime listeners, this track proves Mudvayne aren’t just back — they’re writing some of their heaviest and most personal music yet.
