'''Machine Men''' was a [Finnish](/source/Finland) [heavy metal](/source/heavy_metal_music) band that originally formed as an [Iron Maiden](/source/Iron_Maiden) [cover band](/source/cover_band).<ref>{{Cite web|url={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=machine-men-p746916|pure_url=yes}}|title=Allmusic biography |publisher=[Rovi Corporation](/source/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.
