They aimed to make fast hardcore music with Portuguese lyrics. The band was formed in 1995 with Sandro (vocals), Mozine (bass), Dudu (guitars) and Brek (drums). In 2001 Sandro left the band and Bebê took his position until 2006 when he left the group for personal and musical reasons. Sandro then came back to the original band formation.

Their name was chosen after reading a magazine article which told the story of some Pernambuco’s citizens who used to eat mice found on garbage.
Mukeka di Rato with two K’s was supposed to sound like some crust bands from Finland to which they used to listen. It also represents the sarcasm that appears as a peculiarity in their lyrics and band posture throughout the years.

The verses mention the idea of being wired to the brain, as well as poison in the heart, implying perhaps an addiction or reliance on these products. The line "Amálgama na carne, crime, castigo e perdão" translates to "Amalgam in the flesh, crime, punishment and forgiveness," suggesting perhaps the idea that the use of such products is both beneficial and harmful at the same time.
