Ill Niño was founded in … Read Full Bio ↴First of all, it's Ill Niño. Fix your tags.
Ill Niño was founded in 1998, they had released a demo EP in that same year with Jorge Rosado on vocals. The EP was entitled El Niño, when they were originally called El Niño, after the weather phenomenon. It was until 1999 that they had officially formalized. After Rosado's return to his band Merauder, El Niño 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 was part of the Ozzfest and Jägermeister tours in 2002. The album's single, "What Comes Around," also received significant airplay on MTV2 in late 2001. In early 2003, right before Ill Niño was set to record the follow-up to Revolution Revolución, guitarist Marc Rizzo and percussionist Roger Vasquez left the band, due to personal conflicts and the desire to pursue different projects. Rizzo stayed aboard long enough to record the guitars for the new album, and they got percussionist Danny Couto to replace Roger Vasquez for the recording. Shortly before the release of Confession, the band hired Ahrue Luster, formerly of Machine Head, to fill the vacant guitar spot.
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 and is considered by some to be Ill Niño's best album so far.[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. 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 had received on their past two releases.[6] Somewhere in this time period, for reasons unknown, the band parted ways with guitarist Jardel Paisante, and replaced him with Diego Verduzco.
Roadrunner Records released The Best of Ill Niño on September 29, 2006. The album features 13 tracks from their three Roadrunner releases. However, it 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, was due for release on October 9, 2007, but was pushed back several times, eventually being released on March 11th, 2008.[8]
Through their hard work and devotion, they created their own genre known as Latin Metal. They have a worldwide following and continue to tour across the globe and bring their music to their fans. 2009 will see them embark on another global tour, bringing them to countries like Russia and Spain. It will also see them release their second single off Enigma titled, Me Gusta La Soledad

Ill Nino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arrastra tus manos en paz
The loss of the people is now
Disconnect with you again
Death, to let the new begin
Reconnect wih myself
By molding to the ground
Somber like the moods of me
But violently and willingly
I'm burning inside and as you're dying beside me
The climates will claim the rest of us, right?
Aiming at the broken people
Only to target the weak and the feeble
Detest me, arrest me
Don't test me 'cause I might go a little too far
The perfect imperfect
Restless surface got you nervous
Cutting off the faceless people
Tying up the page and reason
The last of the story to fill the new sequel
Is burning the steeple and might just go a little too far
Come to end the new begins
Tragically the coldest springs
Sheltered here in ashes
Our cells ere hammered down
Llegarás with ice y así
Hot summers come euphorically
Comets fly, hook, sink and lies
El invierno will claim the rest of us, right?
Impostors sent to lead the people
Keeping the power to bastards and feeble
Detest me, arrest me
Don't test me 'cause I might go a little too far
The perfect imperfect
Restless surface got you nervous
Cutting off the faceless people
Tying up the page and reason
The rest of the story to fill the new sequel
Is burning the steeple and might just go a little too far
The loss of the people is now
Arrastra tus manos en paz
Demanda que te escuchen más
The loss of the people is now
The last of the story to fill the new sequel
Arrastra tus manos en paz
The power to people
Are aiming at the broken people
Only to target the weak and the feeble
Detest me, arrest me
Don't test me 'cause I might go a little too far
The perfect imperfect
Restless surface got you nervous
Cutting off the faceless people
Tying up the page and reason
The rest of the story to fill the new sequel
Is burning the steeple and might just go a little too far
The lyrics of Ill Niño's "Hot Summer's Tragedy" seem to be a commentary on the loss of life and power struggles in society, particularly the weak and feeble being targeted by those in power. The repeated lines "The loss of the people is now" and "Arrastra tus manos en paz" (which translates to "Drag your hands in peace") suggest a sense of mourning and the desire for peace. The idea of new beginnings through death is also present, with the lines "Death, to let the new begin" and "Come to end the new begins."
The lyrics also explore the theme of individuals feeling disconnected and somber, but willing to burn inside and go a little too far when tested. The reference to burning the steeple could be interpreted as a metaphor for destroying the corrupt power structures in society. The song ends with a call for people to demand to be heard and take back their power.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hot Summer's Tragedy" are somewhat cryptic, but seem to be a commentary on power dynamics in society and the desire for change and peace.

Llegarás with ice y así

Demanda que te escuchen más
Demand that you be heard and listened to
