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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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. In 2006, they were awarded the Golden Globe for Best Portuguese Band and nominated three times for Best Portuguese Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2025, they will celebrate 30 years of career and will be present at Iberanime for an exclusive conversation with fans on May 17, at 11:15 a.m., on the Japan Stage. It will be a unique opportunity to get to know the five members of the band up close and explore the nine visual generations that have defined Blasted Mechanism’s identity, with a preview of the 10th generation currently in development.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the talk, visitors will be able to visit the band’s stand, where the iconic costumes and masks that marked each era of Blasted Mechanism will be on display. There will be a QR code on site that will direct you to a participation form, allowing fans to contribute to the design of the band’s next generation.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nDon’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the universe of Blasted Mechanism and be part of their artistic evolution!<\/span><\/p>\n
