Mekong Delta is a German thrash metal band formed in 1985 by Ralf Hubert with the goal to "musically outshine" all other independent releases at the time.
The band members initially kept their identities a secret, assuming that German musicians would not be accepted internationally. The band's debut album, Mekong Delta, was released in 1987, followed by several other albums, lineup changes, and a hiatus. In 2007, they released the album Lurking Fear, and in 2014, they released In a Mirror Darkly.
