MEKONG DELTA Completes Recording New Album

March 11, 2010

Legendary German progressive thrash outfit MEKONG DELTA has completed recording its new album, "Wanderer On The Edge Of Time", for a tentative late spring/early summer release. According to a posting on the band's web site, "It has become clear that the story that began with one song ('Shades Of Doom'),followed by half an album (Rondo for Rockgroup 'Dances Of Death') is continued as a full album on 'Wanderer On The Edge Of Time'. More progressive than MEKONG DELTA has ever done, this album will definitely beat 'Dance Of Death' as MEKONG's finest."

01. Intro - Concert Guitar

03. "A Certain Fool" ( Le Fou ) / Movement 1
