Editor's note

Ill Niño's Latin metal fusion from New Jersey

A New Jersey band that blended heavy guitar riffs with Latin rhythms starting in the late 1990s.

For their signature blend, check out 'How Can I Live?' and 'Te Amo. I Hate You.' That's the core of what they do.

When 'Revolution Revolución' came out in 2001, that mix of metal and Latin percussion wasn't something you heard every day. It gave songs like 'How Can I Live?' a different kind of groove. They carved out a specific corner of the scene that still has its own sound.

They formed in 1999 and put out their debut two years later. After guitarist Jardel Martins died in 2003, the band kept going through lineup shifts, releasing eight studio albums up through 2017's 'Ill Niño: Epidemia.'

Archive material and source history

Ill Niño formed in New Jersey in 1999, with Cristian Machado on vocals, Marc Rizzo and Jardel Martins on guitars, Lazaro Pina on bass, and Daniel Couto on drums. Their 2001 debut album 'Revolution Revolución' brought them attention with its mix of heavy guitar riffs and Latin rhythms, a combination that set them apart from other metal bands at the time.

In 2003, guitarist Jardel Martins died in a car accident. The band continued through lineup changes and released several more albums, including tracks like 'How Can I Live?' and 'What You Deserve' that maintained their blend of aggression and melodic elements.

They've put out eight studio albums up through 2017's 'Ill Niño: Epidemia.' The current lineup includes Machado, Rizzo, Ahrue Luster on bass, and Oscar Santiago on drums, with Daniel Couto also listed as a drummer.
