In October of 1984, Joaquim Pinto watches in Berlin to a performance of the Swans. At the end of the concert is Harry Crosby, a bassist from the New York band, who tells him that he has a bass player. Pinto returns to Braga, buys a bass and, in November of that year, forms the MAO MORTA, with Miguel Pedro on guitar and Adolfo Luxúria Canibal in the voice.
The MAO MORTA premieres live, in January 1985, in Porto, in Orfeão da Foz. Ze of the Eclipses enters for guitarist Miguel Pedro passing to the drums.
In November 1985, Zé dos Eclipses debuted live at the concert held at Fábrica, Braga. They participate in the 1st New Rock Music Contest, in the Infante Pavilion of Sagres, where they are in 4th place.
They are compiled for the III Rendez-Vous Rock Modern Music Contest where they would win the Originality Prize, which was the most appealing and prestigious award after their submission in the previous year to Pop Dell'Arte.
In September, Carlos Fortes joined the group on the 2nd guitar, and in October 1986, performed their international debut with a concert in Vigo (Spain), El Kremlin, integrated in the Rock Vigo-Oporto 86 In the course of this participation would come to frutify a friendship between the Mao Morta and Pop Dell'Arte, who were also part of the poster.
The first edition of the band, the cassette Mao Morta (1987).
The year of 1987 was marked by the devastation of Cinema Império, in Lisbon, when the Mao Morta integrated in the poster of the Days of the Empire, there acted in October together with the American Gun Club.
In October of 1988 they made the first part of the British Wire, in the Pavilion Infante de Sagres, in Porto, when the LP was launched, a new music journal that was more focused on the independent scene than the Blitz.
In December they make the first two parts, at the Carlos Lopes Pavilion in Lisbon and at the Rivoli Theater in Porto, the Australian Nick Cave with his Bad Seeds.
They participate in the compilation À Sombra de Deus, with the subtitle Braga 88 that had a great impact media, not only for being the first time in Portugal, a City Council supported the youth culture and edited a disc of local bands, but above all .For finally being available a record of what was known as the bracarense movement, of which much was said but a few, outside Braga, knew, taking away their most notorious representatives Mao Morta, Rongwrong and Bateau Lavoir.
In spite of being a year of great musical activity, 1989 would end up in the history as the one in which Adolph Luxúria Canibal inflicted itself several blows on a leg in a concert realized in Rock Rendez-Vous completely crowded.
Months later, in a television interview, it was justified by saying that Rock Rendez-Vous was too full, with a very heavy, "knife-cutting" environment, and before it could happen any misfortune decided to show blood, "because blood calms the moods, "but with the heat of the installment had not realized the severity of the injuries ...
They began to prepare a new disc but Joaquim Pinto leaves the band after the concert that the Mao Morta gave in January of 1990 in Rock Rendez-Vous. It would be replaced by José Pedro Moura, until then in Pop Dell'Arte, and that it would debut like bassist of the band in a concert in Aveiro.
But before, in May, in a year in which live performances were rare, Mao Morta in a crowded Cinema Alvalade, make another great concert in Lisbon, in the first part of the Swiss Young Gods, where they present the fullness of Felt Hearts and Featured the live debut of Antonio Rafael on the keys.
António Rafael had already participated in the recordings of the disc, as a guest musician, but with this concert it became official his entrance in the group. Corações Felpudos was to be released only in September 1990 through the brand Fungui, the bags and wallets factory of Vítor Silva, 'manager' of the band since the days of Malucos da Pátria.
RUT - Radio Tejo University elected in February 1987 the Mao Morta, as "the best national band without registration on vinyl", with the offer of professional studio time for the recording of two tracks, which would be released in August , Along with 4 other songs recorded in K7 format by Malucos da Pátria. In November, they premiere live on television, in the Fisga youth program, broadcast on Channel 1 of RTP - Radiotelevisão Portuguesa.
At the end of 1990 they are in studio to record what would be their 3rd album: O.D., Queen of Rock & Crawl. The independent publisher Área Total, Guarda, had shown interest in editing Felt Hearts, but having no financial means to pay its cost, it convinced the band to edit a new record, recorded in a cheaper studio. And in January 1991, while the 1990 balance sheets of the cultural weekly Se7e and the Public General newspaper included Felt Hearts as one of the best albums of the year, Dead Hands had a new album ready.
Its edition was scheduled for February, when the band performed for two sold out concerts in the new Lisbon room Johnny Guitar, but due to several delays in the making of the covers, which eventually came out with adulterated colors and the labels of the vinyl ring for paste , Its edition would only happen in June, in a concert in Covilhã, in the discotheque Fábrica.
This would also be Ze's last concert of the Eclipses with the band, since he was leaving for Santa Bárbara, USA, the first stage of a career as a Portuguese reader and cultural attaché that would take him to Santiago de Chile, in the Chile, Fez in Morocco, and Paris in France.
Two days earlier, at a concert in Santo Tirso, Sapo, previously the guitarist of Pop Dell'Arte, had been released, which would replace him on guitar.
1991 had a lot more concerts than the previous year, although without reaching the number that the band had habituated until 1989, but mainly returned to be media interest by the work of the group, with the newspaper Blitz giving cover to the Hand Dead in February , On the occasion of the postponed edition of OD, Queen of Rock & Crawl, and Se7E to do the same in June, such as the regional weekly Minho.
In turn, in December, in its annual balance sheet, the Public newspaper includes O.D., Queen of the Rock & Crawl in its list of the ten best editions of the year.
Nevertheless, with the problems that occurred in the editions of Felting Hearts and OD, Queen of Rock & Crawl and with a new rare of concerts, the morale of the band was in the tracks - in 1992 they made a single concert in April in First part of the British Jesus & Mary Chain, at the Carlos Lopes Pavilion in Lisbon, and even the one with a bitter taste with José Pedro Moura - held back by a police raid in the neighborhood of Casal Ventoso, where his dependence on heroin forced him to move - has to be replaced at the last minute by Antonio Rafael ...
Facing the inertia that was installed, Adolfo Luxúria Canibal convinces Vítor Silva to bet on a new disc and in May the Dead Hand enter again in recordings. They choose the best Portuguese studio of the time, the Angel, where they stay until July and where they meet the producer and sound technician José Fortes, with whom they come into perfect harmony.
Despite the absence of José Pedro Moura, who appears a single day in the studio, the band gains confidence and surrenders heart and soul to the production of what would become his most celebrated album: Mutantes S.21.
Edited in early December, again by the brand Fungui, the disc, which is a backstage tour of nine cities, is still in time to be counted in the annual press reports, being "the best national record of the year" for the Diário de Notícias And included in the list of the best ten of the year of Público and Se7e, while the group is cover of Blitz and Se7e.
The Pop-Off youth culture magazine, broadcast by RTP2, featured weekly video clips by independent bands, and once again, as happened with the edition of Felt Hearts and OD, Queen of Rock & Crawl, invites the Dead Hand to make a video of Mutants S.21.
The chosen theme is Budapest and to realize it was highlighted Nuno Tudela, with whom from that the group maintains a relation of lasting complicity.
The Budapest clip turns out to be the most sought after on another daily program on public television channel 1, Vira o Vídeo, where it stays for weeks on top of its Top Video, dragging with it an unexpected radio airplay that would do with That on February 11, 1993 Mutantes S.21 entered the 28th place of the National Top of Sales. Still this month the Mao Morta make the cover of Académica magazine.

The success of Budapest and Mutantes S.21 could not fail to be reflected in the request for concerts, especially as the group contracted with a new entertainment agency (by Mario Dimas, an experienced agent), and 1993 is a year of touring Triumphant, with several mythical performances.
Beginning in March, with the first parts of the Tubes, the Carlos Lopes Pavilion in Lisbon and the Coliseu do Porto, the tour of Mutantes S.21 also leads the Dead Hand, as heads of posters, to Queima das Fitas of the University of Porto Or the Burial Week of the University of Aveiro, where the debauchery on stage is worth an interdiction of the academy for several years.
Other concerts of this year would be recorded in memory, as in March the clashes that provoked with the police in Mirandela or in June the invasion of the stage by a fan with naked breasts in a crowded Incredible Almadense, in Almada, but none is approaching that in May Starred in the Teatro-Circo, in Braga.
The assistance, in a more than exhausted room, surrendered to the group and it was as if levitating, completely unconscious of its acts, in a collective hysteria of difficult explanation, only to land in the end, in a Theater-Circus destroyed, that almost the only ones Centennial walls resisted.
In the middle there had been everything from dives to the crowd to an attempt at oral sex with Adolfo Luxúria Canibal by a more uncontrolled fan.
This concert had as a pretext the launch of a special edition of Mutantes S.21, with a book of cartoons to illustrate the diverse subjects of the disc, in a kind of farewell to the old vinyl: Mutantes S.21 was also the first edition In the new CD media.
The album also had a nomination for the Golden Se7e of 1993 in the category "best record" (the Golden Se7e was a prestigious annual award instituted by the weekly Se7e, which rewarded the various manifestations within the entertainment area - music, theater, Cinema - that had most distinguished themselves in the year), and in November it would be included in the selection The Best Discs of Portuguese Music, the first balance sheet on the Portuguese musical edition, organized by Diário de Notícias.
Still in November they perform with the British Inspiral Carpets, in the Great Nave of the Exhibition Park in Braga, in the presentation of the second volume of the series À Sombra de Deus, whose idea of a portrait of the state of creativity of Bra- carian music had been taken up again by Miguel Pedro, still always with the sponsorship of the local authority, and give the first interview for a foreign television, in the case to Lemon TV, of Scotland.
But before that they had already aroused the interest of the multinational BMG: its managers were present in Portugal Ao Vivo, a show that in July filled the Estádio de Alvalade with the live presentation of the main names that dominated the Portuguese top of disc sold and in whose Giant screens, in the intervals of performances, passed the music videos made by the television program Pop-Off, and had been very impressed to see that huge crowd chant Budapest every time the clip passed on the screen.
Immediately they contacted the group and at the end of the month the Dead Hand signed with BMG a contract for a disc, at the option of the band that did not want to compromise any longer, entering in December in studio for the recording of the fifth disc.
The Blitz, with the disappearance of the weekly Se7e, decides to institute for music an award that would occupy the space left vacant by the Golden Se7e, and launches the Blitz Music Awards.
