Engine Meltpoint started in Alverca, Portugal in 2002 as a four-piece — Ricardo Quaresma on vocals, Hélio Freitas on drums, Marco Fernandes on bass, and Bruno Santos on guitar. Their self-titled EP came out in 2012, and throughout the 2010s they played venues like República da Música and Associação Fantasma.

After Bruno's departure, the band regrouped as a trio. Following a long break, they returned in 2020 with 'Pills Blind Me', then 'Belonging Nowhere' in 2021. 2024 brought 'Love Test', 'What Makes a Man', 'Back to Beginning', and 'New Divider'.

Debut album 'Handmade Machine' came out in October 2025, 14 tracks of ambient textures, heavy grooves and controlled chaos. In 2026, David Rodrigues joined on guitar and the band is a four-piece again.
