The masked-metal-men of Mudvayne have plotted out an eleven-date tour that launches Nov. 18 in Worcester, Mass. The pride of Peoria, Ill. -- Ryknow, Gurrg, sPaG and Kud -- will be plugging their major-label debut album, L.D. 50, which was released earlier this fall, and produced by GGGarth ( Rage Against the Machine) with assistance from Slipknot percussionist, No. 6.
