Mudvayne Debuts on Billboard's Top 200 at No 2

NEW YORK (Epic Records) - Talk about detonating on impact. LOST AND FOUND, the new album from Epic recording artists MUDVAYNE, rocketed onto Billboard's Top 200 this week at No. 2, making it both the highest debut and highest charting album of the band's career. With sales of 152,000 units, the rock juggernaut almost doubled the first-week numbers of its previous release, 2002's The End of All Things To Come.

News of the album's explosive arrival follows a flurry of headline-making moves for Mudvayne, who recently scored the much-coveted third slot on the main stage of this summer's Ozzfest (going on just before headliners Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden) and garnered their first-ever No 1hit at rock radio with lead single "Happy?"

Mudvayne (lead singer Chad Gray, guitarist Greg Tribbett, bassist Ryan Martinie and drummer Matt McDonough) are currently on a seven-week headlining tour that began March 29th. They'll follow with a tour of Europe before the launch of Ozzfest, which begins July 15th at the Tweeter Center in Boston.
