Career

Moderatto began playing in the mid-nineties in Mexico City, They launched their mainstream debut CD, Resurrexión in 2001. This album quickly gained popularity thanks to their first single "Márchate Ya" and later "Isabel". In November 2004 they launched El Detector de Metal, whose first single, "Muriendo Lento", featured female pop singer Belinda. The album was certified platinum.[citation needed]

The group released ¡Grrrr! at the end of 2006 with its first single, "Sentimettal", climbed to No. 3 on the Mexican Top 40 in three weeks.[citation needed]
