M3 is the third album by the nu metal band Mushroomhead. It was released independently in 1999 on their own label. This was the final studio album with Dinner as a member of the band. The songs "Before I Die", "Solitaire/Unraveling", "Xeroxed" and "Born of Desire" were later included on both the Eclipse Records and Universal Records versions of XX in 2001.

The song "Inevitable" samples the Stephen King miniseries Storm of the Century. The hidden track "Dark and Evil Joe" is a prank phone call made to Joe Aufricht of the black metal band Satanicon. The call is sampled heavily in Racer X's track "Evil Joe".
