Ill Niño |

Ill Niño (IPA: /ɪl ˈniɲo/) is a six-piece Latin American nu metal[1] music group from New Jersey, USA.
History
Ill Niño formed in late 1999 when they were originally called El Niño (after the weather phenomenon). They signed with Roadrunner Records in 2000, but were forced to change their name because it was already being used by another band.
They released their debut album Revolution Revolución on September 18, 2001. In support of the album's release, the band were part of the Ozzfest and Jägermeister tours in 2002. The album's single, "What Comes Around", also received significant airplay through MTV2's Headbangers Ball.
Ill Niño's follow-up effort Confession was released on September 30, 2003. The album debuted at #37 on the Billboard 200 charts.[2] The lead single, "How Can I Live", featured on the Freddy vs. Jason soundtrack, and was subsequently their first single to break into the Billboard charts, peaking at #26 on the mainstream rock charts. The album had sold more than 110,000 copies in the US within its first five months of release.[3]
The band's third effort One Nation Underground was released on September 27, 2005. The album debuted at #101 on the Billboard 200 charts[4], and struggled to sell as well as its predecessor Confession. Eventually, the band announced they had parted ways with Roadrunner Records on July 15, 2006.[5]
Nine days later, it was announced that Ill Niño had signed new deal with the recently formed Cement Shoes Records. Drummer Dave Chavarri stated that their split from Roadrunner was "amicable", but felt that they weren't getting the proper attention and support from Roadrunner they they had received on their past two releases.[6]
Roadrunner Records released The Best of Ill Niño on September 29, 2006. The album features 13 tracks from their three Roadrunner releases. It, however, was only issued in the US.
As a lead-up to their Cement Shoes debut, the band released the five-track EP The Under Cover Sessions on November 7, 2006. Three cover versions were recorded, which included Faith No More's "Zombie Eaters", Nirvana's "Territorial Pissings" and Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain". Two new tracks, "Arrastra" and "Reservation for Two", were also included. 1,300 copies were sold in its first week of release.[7]
The band's fourth full-length album Enigma is due for release on July 17, 2007.[8]
