They began playing in the mid-nineties in Mexico City, as a parody of the glamorous style of many 80's bands like Poison and Mötley Crüe; it began as a side project to the members' original bands, but eventually became quite popular among members of the Mexican alternative scene. With the coming to the mainstream of many underground interests, they became widely popular.
They launched their mainstream debut CD, Resurrección in 2001. This album re-awakened the Mexican feeling for wannabe Pop Rock, and quickly gained popularity with their first single "Márchate Ya" and the later "Isabel". In November 2004 they launched Detector de Metal, whose first single Muriendo Lento featuring female pop singer Belinda, was a huge hit that gave Moderatto massive appeal. Since the launch of Detector de Metal, the band has been giving huge concerts that have been completely sold out in Mexico's most important arenas, like the Auditorio Nacional and Teatro Metropolitan.
Moderatto released a new album at the end 2006 titled ¡GRRRR!. The first single off of ¡GRRRR! is Sentimettal, which in 3 weeks climbed all the way to #3 in the Mexican Top 40.
Despite perceiving themselves as metal, members of the band have received the criticism of some metal fans who said than the band is more pop rock.
Following Sentimettal, Moderatto released their next single, Si Mi Delito Es Rockear (Me Declaro Culpable).
On 2008 the Queremos Rock comes out, it includes 8 songs written by them and 2 covers.
Carisma their last studio album, was released in October 2012. With singles Entrégate and Gracias being a success.

Moderatto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Estoy muy triste por no poderte amar
Desesperado fui a buscar
Las revistas que te gusta comprar
Y descubrí algo fatal
Y No lo puedo, no lo quiero evitar
Y no eres tú, ni soy yo
No falta amor, ni pasión
Es el zodiaco, nos separa a los dos
Dicen, que tú eres de agua y yo soy de fuego
Tal vez en otra vida mi cielo
Los astros no te alejen de mí, de mí
Quisieron hacer del universo un infierno
Para que nunca mas nos dé miedo
Lo que el zodiaco dice de ti y de mí
Sagitario, corazón de metal
Piscis quiere siempre ir al mar
Leo del reven, no lo puedes sacar
Géminis, Virgo son sexuales nomás
Aries y Tauro, no les gusta el break dance
Luego escorpión siempre quiere rockear
Cáncer, zafo, no lo quiero nombrar
Acuario son raros, pero es lo que hay
Capricornio, egoísta total
Libra me encanta, me podría casar
Ya consulté, tu carta astral
Y no tienes nada que me pueda gustar
Y no eres tú, ni soy yo
Son los planetas que nos dicen que no
No falta amor, ni pasión
Es el zodiaco que nos separa a los dos
Dicen, que tú eres de agua y yo soy de fuego
Tal vez en otra vida mi cielo
Los astros no te alejen de mí, de mí
Quisieron hacer del universo un infierno
Para que nunca mas nos dé miedo
Lo que el zodiaco dice de ti y de mí
Dicen que soy de Marte y tú eres de Venus
Tal ves en otra vida mi cielo
Los astros no te alejen de mí, de mí
The lyrics of Moderatto's song Zodiaco show the frustration and sadness of the singer because he cannot love the person he wants due to the interference of the astrological signs. He confesses to being desperate and looking for answers by consulting magazines about astrology. However, instead of finding solutions, he discovers that their signs do not match and no matter how much they love each other, they will never be together due to the planets' positions in their birth chart.
The song reveals the singer's belief that their separation is not due to a lack of love or passion, but rather to the alignment of the planets. The chorus repeats the idea that the universe has conspired against their love to the extent of making it a hellish experience. Despite this tragic realization, the singer still hopes that in a next life, they will be able to be together and that the stars will not prevent their love from flourishing.
In essence, Moderatto's Zodiaco portrays a story of unattainable love due to astrological incompatibility. The song's lyrics use astrology as a metaphor to depict the idea that sometimes, despite loving each other deeply, external factors such as social class, race, culture, or even personality traits, can keep two people apart.

Estos vatos la siguen rompiendo, en lo personal me gusta mucho su musica, sus arreglos, la voz, pero sobre todo el manejo en el escenario y su quimica al tocar. es admirable que sigan juntos despues de tantos años.
