PUDDLE OF MUDD Confront Inner Demons in New Single ‘Monsters’

Rock mainstays PUDDLE OF MUDD return with their latest single Monsters, a raw and reflective track that dives deep into the struggles of self-doubt, addiction, and redemption. The official music video brings this emotional journey to life with a moody, cinematic edge, reminding fans why the band remains one of the most enduring voices of early 2000s rock.

The animated video blends gritty realism with eerie, dreamlike imagery, portraying the struggle of confronting personal “monsters” head-on. Wes Scantlin’s unmistakable voice carries the track with wounded honesty, his lyrics cutting through waves of distorted guitars and brooding atmosphere. It’s both a throwback to PUDDLE OF MUDD’s early 2000s grit and a bold step into something visually and thematically deeper.

Rather than relying on performance footage, the animation tells a visual story of transformation—one that mirrors the band’s own evolution. The use of shadow, fire, and symbolic destruction amplifies the track’s sense of catharsis, pulling the listener into a world where pain becomes power and survival becomes art.

With Monsters, PUDDLE OF MUDD remind the world why they remain one of rock’s most enduring acts. It’s a gripping fusion of music and visual storytelling—proof that even decades into their career, they’re still pushing creative boundaries and confronting the darkness with unflinching honesty.
