Grapow commented: "We are very happy that we found Martin, he is a very talented and powerful drummer and besides that he is an amazing gifted songwriter."
Skaroupka added: "I feel honored that the band has chosen me to record drums on the new Masterplan album! I have always been a huge fan of Masterplan's music and I am indeed looking forward to record the new Masterplan album! This is going to be a blast, no doubt about it!"
Masterplan are working on 15 songs for the follow-up to 2010's Time To Be King, due out tentatively in January 2013.
Grapow said in March: "We are looking for a more powerful album this time... still with great melodies and feelings, but also with more orchestration and faster stuff again.. just more metal!"
