Bizarra Locomotiva - Topic

Bizarra Locomotiva is a Portuguese industrial metal band. Its history dates back to 1993, when Armando Teixeira and Rui Sidónio started a band to participate in Modern Music Competition of the city of Lisbon.
After participating in the Biennale of Young Creators of Mediterranean Europe, Bizarra Locomotiva went in a national tour. In August 1997, the band performed in Southwest Festival promoting Fear Now?. In Bestiário, 1998, the band highlights a wider musical range, welcoming new environments and sounds. In 2002, Homem Máquina, mankind once again was the subject of fierce criticism. The band members dressed in suits symbolizing the human machine. In 2004 the band released Ódio, a comeback to the raw and heavy sounds that were not at present in Homem Máquina and by that the arc of themed based records came to an end. After five years the band released Álbum Negro which gained attention from the media and had positive reviews, this record features Fernando Ribeiro from Moonspell as guest vocals in the song O Anjo Exilado. Years later, and touring with Álbum Negro the band completed its 20th anniversary, with a few shows to celebrate it and a video documentary.
