Mekong Delta - Announces New Singer And Drummer
Mekong Delta have announced the addition of vocalist Martin LeMar (Tomorrow's Eve) and drummer Alex Landenburg (At Vance, Annihilator) to the group's ranks.
Posted on the band's official site: "Mekong Delta has found a (permanent) replacement for Leo as vocalist. His name is Martin LeMar and you might know him for his work with Tomorrow's Eve. To give you a little insight to Martin's voice, here's a remake of the track "Epilogue" from Mekong Delta's second album ("The Music of Erich Zann") including Martin's vocals."
Mekong Delta has found a drummer able to play the upcoming live shows. His name is Alex Landenburg. In the video section of the site you can find a video where you can see Alex (and hear most of the rest of the band) rehearsing "Immortal Hate".
Due to some discussions going on on the Mekong Delta forums, founding member and bassist Ralf Hubert wants everyone to know what Mekong Delta stands for with the following statement. He will explain in more detail later, but right now it comes down to this:
"Mekong Delta is, was and will never be bounded to musicians, Mekong Delta is a way of composing and every musician who is able to handle his instrument will be able to play the stuff. Furthermore I like to remember that person cult is something I tried to defend from the beginning, most of you should know that. I have to find a way to respect the wishes of you all in seeing Mekong playing live and the time situation of the musicians and as it seems to be impossible to get both together I have to make a decision for the future as for example I needed 2 1/2 years to get the musicians together for the Kaleidoscope tour. The only way to realise permanent live presence and continuos work on new stuff was to change the line up."

ProgPower Scandinavia - Mekong Delta Replaces Zero Hour
Unfortunately ZERO HOUR had to cancel their ProgPower Scandinavia appearance due to bassist Troy Tipton having to undergo surgery end of October. We are very saddened to hear this, and we wish Troy a speedy recovery, and hope to see them at ProgPower Scandinavia next year. Please find below the statement from Jasun Tipton in Zero Hour:
. . . .
This is very tough for me to write as we deeply regret to say Zero Hour has to cancel the upcoming live performance at ProgPower Scandinavia. My brother Troy has been struggling with Tendonitis for many years and in the last year the pain in his Ulnar nerve and tendons have pushed him to his limits. Troy has already run up a large amount of medical bills this year. Having met the deductible requirements of his health insurance policy, Troy needs to have the surgery done (followed by 6 weeks of rehabilitation) before the year is up. Unfortunately this created a scheduling conflict with ProgPower Scandinavia.
I want to thank Claus of Intromental/ProgPower Scandinavia for being nothing but supportive towards our decision. Claus is a class-act and has done an amazing job with his promotions work (Intromental Promotions) for Zero Hour over the years. This was going to be our first time playing in Denmark and we were so excited to come play ProgPower Scandinavia. Claus has put together an awesome lineup as all the bands are very talented. We hope ProgPower Scandinavia is a great success because it's a great event run by great people.
We want to apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing Zero Hour at ProgPower Scandinavia. This is the first time we've canceled an event and never wanted to be known as that type of band. It's very hard to see my brother in the condition he's in and this is the best thing for Troy and the band in the long run. ProgPower Europe will be our last event of 2008 and we'll do our best to let you know the status of Troy and the band in 2009.
METAL!!
Jasun/ZH
. . . .
With regards to ProgPower Scandinavia, we are of course very disappointed by the fact that we once again have to find a replacement band, as this year seem to be the year of several cancellations. However, we decided to find a band similar to Zero Hour in musical expression, so we chose German technical prog-thrashers MEKONG DELTA to be a suitable and very welcomed replacement band. MEKONG DELTA is a band that we actually had in mind for the original line-up of PP Scandinavia 2008, but with Zero Hour already on the bill, we did not want two bands so close in sound. The unfortunate situation with Zero Hour gives us a good reason for picking up MEKONG DELTA, and we are very proud of having them perform at our festival. If you do not know who MEKONG DELTA are, we urge you to check out their latest album "Lurking Fear" from 2007 or some of their classic albums like "Dances Of Death and Other Walking Shadows" 1990 and "The Principle of Doubt" 1989. MEKONG DELTA is really one of the original progressive metal bands in Europe, and with their hard thrash metal roots, they should make ProgPower Scandinavia into a truly original event.

Mekong Delta - Update On The New Album
As reported on Mekong Delta website the work on their upcoming album is progressing nicely.
5 of the 8 group songs are completely finished musically. The other 3 are a little more difficult to complete because of special rhythms used. Ralf and Peter concluded they would first finish the 8 group songs (and maybe even record them first) before working on the classical adaptation and the 2 orchestral ones. They have not been together yet because of the great progess on the drums. The three members will probably meet each other in Norway (where Uli lives nowadays) for rehearsals soon.
