Ill Niño
Encyclopedia : I : IL : ILL : Ill Niño
Ill Niño is a six-piece music group from New Jersey, USA.
Ill Niño (IPA: ɪl ˈniɲo) are influenced by the heavy metal band Soulfly, and share some similarities in sound and style, the most notable one being the south american influence on their music. The main difference would be the frequently used clean singing with screaming being less of a dominant part of the Ill Niño sound and guitar work focusing more on melody than soulfly does. They frequently use classical guitar melodies and Brazilian tribal percussion on top of a standard drum kit. They were originally called El Niño but changed to Ill Niño because El Niño was already taken by another band.
The lead singer Cristian Machado appears on the song "F.E." by the now disbanded group 40 Below Summer and on "Battle Lines" by E-Town Concrete. He also sings on the Roadrunner United song "No Mas Control" written by Fear Factory's Dino Cazares. Dave Chavarri also played on a Roadrunner United song "In The Fire" which was written by Matt Heafy of Trivium.
