If you’re older than 20, you may remember the boom of nu metal bands coming out at the beginning of this century like Drowning Pool, Taproot and Ill Niño. While most of us completely forgot about these bands, apparently some of them are still playing nowadays and still have fans around to support them, like New Jersey’s Latin metal band Ill Niño who just announced a new headlining tour.
The band recently revealed their newest headliner tour “15 Years of Revolution” to commemorate the release of their debut album Revolution Revolución back in 2001, and will be joined by Bobaflex, Terror Universal, Saint Diablo, Voodoo Terror Tribe and, the good guys at Shattered Sun.
Frontman Cristian Machado states:
“Nearly two decades later, onward we march to the sound of the war drums. It’s safe to say we owe it all to our fans.
“For our first ten tours, ‘Revolution, Revolución’ songs were all we played. Sadly, a lot of our debut album went unperformed for many years thereafter, so now’s your chance to hear it again! Some may think it’s cliché, but the fact is 15 years later here we are and damn fucking right, we’re gonna celebrate! We live and die ILL NIÑO army, ILL NIÑO familia. Come celebrate ’15 Years Of Revolution’ and Latin metal insanity with us!”
