Men Eater

The super-group tag is thrown around much too often nowadays, but Men Eater definitely includes the cream of the crop of the current portuguese underground movement. The band shares musicians with well-known groups as For The Glory, Blacksunrise, Riding Pânico and Mushin, but it's so much more than your average side-project it almost hurts. The idea of getting it together was born in a pretty casual way though in the back of a van, while driving back home from a festival in Spain.
