Blasted Mechanism is one of the most iconic and innovative bands in Portuguese music, known for their unique fusion of alternative rock, electronic music, and ethnic sounds, combined with breathtaking visual performances. Founded in 1995 by Valdjiu and Karkov, Blasted Mechanism has created its own artistic universe, where music, technology, and futuristic aesthetics intertwine to provide unique sensory experiences to the audience.

Over three decades, the band has released several acclaimed albums, such as Plasma (1999), Namaste (2003), Avatara (2005), Mind at Large (2009), and Blasted Generation (2012), standing out for their sonic and visual innovation.
