Kelly Mcguire-Singer/Songwriter: Not long ago, someone asked me why I've chosen music to be my life, and I couldn't answer the question, because if the truth be known, the music chose me. In the begining It was a distant drumming, my mother's heart beating, then my brother's transistor radio wafting late night motown hits through our shared bedroom, but I was fated even then to some day discover the Instrument of my lifelong passion ...

Mudvayne's Official Website on Sony Music.
After spending a year and a half on the road, the members of Mudvayne only took a month off before starting work on the quartet's second album, The End of All Things to Come (Epic Records, out November 19, 2002).
Instead of easing into the album, the band gambled on an ambitious recording schedule that made the ticking of the clock a constant source of tension. The self-imposed pressure to create paid off as Mudvayne produced a collection of songs that offer a window into the band's growth.
The first single "Not Falling" along with "(Per)Version of a Truth" and "World So Cold" combine a new attention to melody and disciplined musicianship with Mudvayne's trademark dark lyrical vision, rhythmic complexity and jagged, sonic brutality. The End of All Things to Come captures Mudvayne at time when the band has found its voice and is hitting its stride with confidence.
"I've always said David Lynch could make a film out of anything and it would still look like a Lynch film," explains drummer Spüg. "At one point while we were writing this album, I felt like we could do the same thing with music; we could play anything and it would sound like Mudvayne. Looking back I realize that what happened was after 18 months on the road we'd finally come to a realization of who we are as a band."
The making of The End of All Things to Come was an exercise in deadline management for the band. "We didn't want to take much more than two years between albums and since we were on the road for such a long time that really didn't leave us with a whole lot of time to make this record," explains Chüd. We wrote and rehearsed for four months and then spent another four months to record and master the entire album. The pressure made us focus instead of fold."
"I honestly didn't think we could make the record we wanted to make so quickly, but we did," continues Chüd. "I'm very proud of this album from every angle - the music, melody, songwriting and lyrics. It captures who we are at this moment in time."
Although the album meets-and in some cases exceeds-the band's expectations, it wasn't all smooth sailing ...
