Cattle Decapitation - Drummer Search, New Album
The band posted the following message concerning their quest to find a new drummer:
"As of March, 2006 Michael Laughlin has left Cattle Decapitation for personal reasons. Unfortunately, this leaves us in the predicament of trying to fulfill our upcoming tour obligations without a drummer. Therefore we are asking drummers that would be interested in filling in for our upcoming tours with Necrophagist and From a Second Story Window (with the potential of becoming a permanent member)to submit a recording(audio or video)of themselves playing either the song "No Future" off of our split with Caninus and/or "Reduced to Paste" from Humanure. Let it be clear that we are not looking for creative interpretations of the songs. A calypso version of "Reduced to Paste" is not necessary. We would like for prospective drummers to be able to play hit for hit what is being performed on the above recordings. Either you have it or you don't.
Sloppy double-bass or slow blasting is not acceptable.
Our live set will be approximately 35 minutes a night for the aforementioned tours, so applicants should be prepared for a barrage of learning over the course of the next five weeks. Basically, we need a human drum machine. We plan to have 5-6 brand new unreleased songs in our set in addition to various selections from the split with Caninus, Humanure, To Serve Man and Human Jerky for a total of around 11 songs. We will provide able prospects with recordings of the unreleased songs upon reception of successfully rendered versions of No Future or Reduced to Paste. A link to No Future and Reduced To Paste can be found on our My Space site: www.myspace.com/cattledecapitation.
These tours start May 11th. You may reach us at humanjerky2000@yahoo.com or at our Myspace.com page with submissions."
Also the band revealed details of their upcoming album. The title of the album will be "Karma.Bloody.Karma", the band commented on it: "NO, there is not any religious significance of the title. NO, the name does not imply that were crazy vegans trying to push our lifestyle onto people (as a lot of gabbing internet idiots like to pigeonhole us as). It is simply about the greatest natural disaster of all time, humanity, and revenge for its effect on this planet. This will be the most nihilistic, pessimistic and hateful record weve ever done lyrically, and musically you can expect".
"Karma.Bloody.Karma" features guest appearances by Joey Karam(The Locust) and John Wiese(Sunn0))), Bastard Noise). It's produced by Billy Anderson(Swans, Mr. Bungle, Melvins). And it's expected to be out around June/July 2006.

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.
