Mudvayne‘s Psychotherapy Sessions summer tour with Coal Chamber, GWAR, Nonpoint and Butcher Babies kicked off last night (July 20) and the headliners played a 15-song set that included the first-ever live performance of “Fish Out Of Water” as well as their cover of The Police‘s “King of Pain.”
The trek, which runs through Aug. 26, launched in West Palm Beach, Florida amid the scorching heat blanketing most of the United States. It was the very first headlining tour performance for Mudvayne since playing their first comeback show in 2021 at the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival.
It’s been all fest stops for Mudvayne until now and it was a notable night for the reunited Coal Chamber, who also made their first tour appearance since playing their first reunion show earlier this year at the Sick New World Festival.
For both fans who grew up with the bands in the mid-to-late 1990s and 2000s and those who never had a chance to witness them back then, this tour is a special one.

The kickoff found Mudvayne playing a cover of The Police’s “King of Pain” live for the first time as well. The song originally appeared on the band’s 2007 compilation By the People, For the People, while “Fish Out of Water” is culled from 2008’s The New Game.
