With a sound that combines influences from virtually every known corner of the planet with a decidedly funk-rock backbone, a very peculiar image that is reinvented with each successive album, and an added sense of mystery regarding both their true names and unmasked appearance, Blasted Mechanism have been a very unique proposition in the world of Portuguese popular music ever since the early stages of their career. Formed in 1994 around the core (and only constant elements throughout their tenure) of lead singer Karkov and multi-instrumentalist Valdjiu, Blasted Mechanism first started out as a heavily Red Hot Chili Peppers-influenced funk-metal unit. Early live performances started gaining them a small but dedicated audience and their first glimpses of press coverage.
