The New Game is the fourth studio album by American metal band Mudvayne. It was released on November 18, 2008 by Epic (Records). The first single from the album, "Do What You Do", entered airplay on September 23, 2008.
The fourth studio album by Mudvayne was originally put on hold in the summer of 2007, due to vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett touring with Hellyeah. Following the tour, Mudvayne reunited and began recording the album with producer Dave Fortman, who also produced their previous effort, Lost and Found. The band has completed tracking drums and guitars and is preparing to record bass and vocals, with the mastering stages scheduled for completion by October 1, 2008. Fortman reported to MTV that "the album is tentatively titled The New Game, and will be followed six months later by a second, full-length record". Among its track listing is the band's 2007 single "Dull Boy", which debuted on the compilation release By the People, for the People.
On July 16, 2008, a video was uploaded to Mudvayne's MySpace profile, previewing a possible album track. A second video appeared on the band's MySpace profile on August 19, which showcases vocalist Chad Gray tracking vocals presumably for the album. This video was later made a feature on the band's official website. On September 16, 30-second previews of "Fish Out of Water", "A New Game", and "Do What You Do" were made available for streaming on the band's MySpace profile. The album's first single, "Do What You Do", began airplay on September 23. Mudvayne are currently auditioning fans to be in the music video for the album's second single, "A New Game", via MySpace.
"Fish Out of Water" has been made available for download to customers who pre-order The New Game on the iTunes Store or through Best Buy. The deluxe digital version of the album also includes a digital copy of By the People, for the People. On October 28, "Have it Your Way" was released exclusively by Revolver through its website.
It was announced on Rockline radio that "Scarlet Letters" is slated to be the second single from the new album.
