Mão Morta

Mão Morta is a popular Rock group, formed on January 1, 1985.

Mão Morta, often likened to the Portuguese counterparts of Swans, owe their very existence to a serendipitous tip-off from Swans' bassist Harry Crosby. This revelation came to Joaquim Pinto when he attended a Swans concert in Berlin. Aligning with their American idols, this European ensemble embarked on a relentless quest for the rarest alternative sounds, infused with dark experimentation and enigmatic lyrics. Some critics have drawn parallels to Nick Cave's early influences . Popular albums include "Mutantes S.21".
