Ill Nino is an American heavy metal/ latin metal band from New Jersey consisting of Christian Machado, Lazaro Pina, Diego Verduzco, Ahrue Luster, Dave Chavarri, Oscar Santiago.
Ill Nino was first formed in 1998 by drummer Dave Chavarri and released their first self-titled EP in 2000. The band gained so much buzz on the NY/NJ metal scene that it scored them heavy rotation with multiples of their songs on Seton Hall University's WSOU Pirate Radio and was quickly signed to Roadrunner Records. On 18 September 2001 Ill Nino released their first full-length album entitled “Revolution Revolucion.” To promote the album, the band set out on tour for nineteen months, hitting the United States, Australia, Japan and Europe.
It wasn’t until 2003 that Ill Nino released their second album, “Confession,” and debuted at No. 37 on the Billboard charts. Again the band set out on tour, embarking on Road Runner’s Road Rage Tour in Europe, followed by a series of headlining performances. Having sold over 500,000 copies of “Confession,” the band followed up with yet another successful album entitled “On Nation Underground” in 2005. Ill Nino then amicably departed from Road Runner Records and in March 2010 the band signed with Victory Records and went into the studio to start recording again. The result was “Dead New World” which was released on 25 October 2010, and went on a headlining tour of Europe, the U.S, Russia and Australia. On 22 July 2014 the band released their seventh album, “Til Death La Familia.”
