Dead Men Talking is a portuguese experimental/electronica music project that was born in the winter of 2005.

The name was originally invented by founder Márcio Alfama, and represents an old cultural project of Márcio Alfama: a literature project involving squizofrenic patients, from several portuguese mental institutes. To give a voice to those who were ostracized from the society, was the target of this literature project.
The project never took off due to lack of funds.

Dead Men Talking were born Dead MAN Talking, and it was a individual project.

Instrumentalist Márcio Alfama, a music journalist and founder of the project, invited ex-Hiranyagarbha (a dismembered alternative rock portuguese band) vocalist Carlos Silva to produce some tracks together. In the past, Márcio Alfama and Carlos Silva had already worked together (Alfama was the manager and caretaker of Hiranyagarbha).  

In the beginning of Dead Men Talking, the project combined electronica music, with noisy guitars, as well as downtempo-slow motion beats. Haunting and disturbing voices were also a trademark of the early Dead Men Talking sounds. At this stage friends and artists like Metricks, JDVoid, Laparoto, T´Helsinquia and Gox collaborated in some tracks.

Toughts and feelings; images and memories. Existencialists, spiritualists, Dead Men Talking began to increase their needs. In 2007, guitar player José "Austro", and VJ César Ventura, joined the band, resulting in new musical environments. The track "Document of a Life" marked the changing point of the band. "Don´t Know Yet" is the next work to be released. Inspired by Dante Alighieri´s "The Descent into Hell", it is a much darker musical approach; using more electronica and classical instruments, it could be another twist in DMT´s music.


"We still believe in a future with instrumentalism. We still believe. Our recreation is here to serve all of your needs. Over the music minutes, we take our guests away from everyday life and created a voyage. We believe everyone deserves to travel through this passage" - Dead Men Talking.
