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.”
Ill Niño is a band that has a very unique sound. They have stayed true to not only their heritage but also their musical style. Although, Ill Niño hails from New Jersey the members of the band are of Latin/Spanish Heritage. They are one of the only bands I know that has 2 drummers or a drummer and a percussionist I should say. :) That adds tremendously to the Latin feel of their music and to the appeal of their Live Show.
Although they've had a few line up changes across the many years they've been a group, they've Always Delivered the Show of a Lifetime each and every time. They always leave their hearts and souls on stage each and every time. You can expect an extremely high energy show as well as the True Genuineness that shines through. It is evident that they LOVE what they do and they do it very well. I've NEVER Once been disappointed by their show or them as people. They are Very Very Gracious and Caring toward their fans which is something I truly admire.
In my opinion, all the members of Ill Niño are Professional, Hardworking, Talented, Kind, Humble, Down to Earth, REAL, Genuine Individuals. They've withstood the test of time and all the Drastic changes that have occurred in the Music Industry since the conception and forming of Ill Niño. If and When you ever get a change to go see them LIVE I Highly Recommend It! It will be worth every penny. As well as buying every CD they've ever made would be money Extraordinarily Well Spent. :D Thanks for allowing me to write this review and I hope it is all you expected and hoped for in me sharing my thoughts and feelings about Ill Niño. It is an honor. \m/ ~Sincerely, Evie Star
