Mão Morta (Portuguese for "dead hand") is a Portuguese avant-garde rock band that started its activities in 1984 in Braga. They're one of the most influent Portuguese bands, mostly because their work in the 80s and 90s Portuguese rock scene. The bands' live concerts are known to be quite impressive because of the stunning presence of their vocalist Adolfo Luxúria Canibal (a pseudonym meaning Adolph Cannibal Lust). Their music reflects urban violence and human search for pleasure and freedom often with sarcastic humour. Mão Morta's music is quite difficult to categorize as they seem to incorporate a variety of genres; from punk rock, metal, to industrial and experimental.
