In 1996 they released the Devin Townsend produced Pigwalk alongside new bassist Corey Lowery and drummer Bud Fontseré. Their fame was minimal until the release of their 3rd album, Rising. The album sold over 50,000 copies and remained Century Media's highest selling album until 2004, when Lacuna Coil's 5th album Comalies broke that record. The band's love for professional wrestling was especially exhibited through this album, as World Championship Wrestling's U.S. Heavyweight Championship belt was prominently featured on the cover. Also, the video for the song "Rising" featured then-WCW stars Diamond Dallas Page and Raven.
Despite critical praise and good sales of their follow-up albums, Stuck Mojo broke up in 2001 but continued to perform New Year's Eve reunion shows every year at the Masquerade Club in Atlanta. Bonz later joined the bands 420 Monks and Dead Gospel. Ward, Fontseré, and former bassist Dan Dryden joined WWE wrestler Chris Jericho's band Fozzy and another band called Sick speed, and Corey Lowery joined Life Of Agony, Stereomud, and Dark New Day. Rich Ward released a solo album under the name "The Duke" on May 3, 2005. Stuck Mojo are considered pioneers of the nu-metal subgenre, and are considered an influence by many popular nu-metal groups. In 2005, Stuck Mojo reunited, with Bonz, Ward, and Fontseré back in the lineup, with new bassist Sean Delson replacing Dan Dryden. Current plans include a new album, titled "Southern Born Killers", as well as a full-scale tour. Fontsere has since left and been replaced by Eric Sanders along with frontman Bonz being replaced by Lord Nelson.
Their latest album, "Southern Born Killers", has been released for free legal download from their official site.

Stuck Mojo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Stuck Mojo's song The Monster are aggressive, boasting lyrics that speak of the band's fearlessness and unique musical style. The opening line, "Something wicked your way comes from what I hear", sets the tone for the song and implies that the band is a force to be reckoned with. They can sense fear in the air and are ready to unleash their power through their music. The phrase "we're on the hunt for the weak" reinforces this idea that the band is not afraid to take on anyone who stands in their way.
The chorus of the song serves as a warning to anyone who doubts the Mojo Crew: "Here comes the Monster. Chitter chatter it doesn't matter ya get crushed to dust like anti-matter." The band is ready to assert their dominance and will not tolerate any disrespect or opposition. They are confident in their abilities, as demonstrated in the line "our style is rather unique", and are determined to make their mark in the music industry. The anger and frustration in the lyrics is palpable, making for an intense and memorable song.

Ahhhhhhh! Something wicked your way comes from what I hear
I sense something ominous headed your way
I can smell fear in your atmosphere of Music
I detect your unease around our music
Tell me what the hell for 'cause we rock hardcore giving you much Much more than you bargained for
Why are you locking your door? We deliver more intensity than you expected
Now you're locking the door?
Why are you barricading yourself against our power?
I'm on the prowl we're on the hunt for the weak we're out to seek! Suckers keep running
We're hunting for the vulnerable and those without fortitude, they run in fear
The same old excuse the verbal abuse the riffs misuse So you have no use for the Mojo Crew!
You reject our style and criticize our music, claiming it has no worth
And it will get you
Your rejection will come back to haunt you
Here comes the Monster. Chitter chatter it doesn't matter ya get crushed to dust like anti-matter
Our power is about to be unleashed and those who oppose will be destroyed
Time to release the beast from the southeast power and finesse our style is rather unique
Now is the moment to unleash our fierce and distinctive sound from the southern states
Ill fools from Atlanta busting out like Doctor Bruce Banner. I am green with envy I just want my shot in the industry
We are a talented crew from Atlanta, like the Incredible Hulk. I am envious and eager for our chance to shine

If youd ever seen Mojo live, you wouldn't say that. They never translated well, to record. This is a mere shadow of the live impact. Sheer, wanton brutality.
