Mão Morta, often likened to the Portuguese counterparts of Swans, owe their very existence to a serendipitous tip-off from Swans' bassist Harry Crosby. This revelation came to Joaquim Pinto when he attended a Swans concert in Berlin. Aligning with their American idols, this European ensemble embarked on a relentless quest for the rarest alternative sounds, infused with dark experimentation and enigmatic lyrics.
These are photos from concerts where Mão Morta played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
