'''Machine Men''' was a Finnish heavy metal band that originally formed as an Iron Maiden cover band.<ref>{{Cite web|url={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=machine-men-p746916|pure_url=yes}}|title=Allmusic biography |publisher=Rovi Corporation |author= Eduardo Rivadavia |accessdate=2010-11-02}}</ref>
Vocalist Toni Parviainen started singing in 1998, with inspiration from Bruce Dickinson. Machine Men took their name from a song present on Dickinson's 1998 album "The Chemical Wedding".
After a two-year hiatus, the band broke up in February 2011 due to lack of interest from the members.
