Martin Mendez, born in Uruguay on April 6th 1978, is the bass guitar player for the progressive death metal band Opeth. He was also a member of several other bands with friend and former Opeth drummer Martin Lopez, including Fifth To Infinity, Proxima and Vinterkrig. Mendez also played with Martin Lopez, when they lived in Uruguay in Requiem Aeternam. Originally, the other members of Opeth were hesitant about adding Mendez to the lineup, because they feared the band would be divided into two camps, since Mikael and Peter had played together so long, and the Martins had played together so long.
