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
What You Deserve
Ill Nino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You relate
It's too bad that you have made mistakes
Too bad that I cannot relate
When all else fails
When all else fades
I kept my way through bitter days
What you don't know (don't know)
Won't leave a scar
What you don't know (don't know)
Hasn't killed you so far
What you don't know (don't know)
Is who you are
I just give you something to talk about
What you don't know
It's too late that now
I've changed my mind
Too late somehow
To recognize
When all else fails
When all I fight
I hold my words
Perdido en time
Just lost in time
What you don't know (don't know)
Won't leave a scar
What you don't know (don't know)
Hasn't killed you so far
What you don't know (don't know)
Is who you are
I just give you
Something to talk about
So you lost yourself
Turned to someone else
And you can't give up your will to want to know
Then you find yourself
And you're someone else
In the end you only get what you deserve
What you deserve
What you don't know (don't know)
Won't leave a scar
What you don't know (don't know)
Hasn't killed you so far
What you don't know (don't know)
Is who you are
I just give you something to talk about
What you don't know (don't know)
What you don't know (don't know)
What you don't know (don't know)
The lyrics of "What You Deserve" by Ill Niño explore the idea of how much we really know ourselves and others. The song starts with the listener being told to "stop" and that they "relate" before moving on to discuss the mistakes that have been made and the inability to relate to them. The singer acknowledges that they have kept their way through "bitter days" and have held their words. The line "What you don't know won't leave a scar" suggests that ignorance is bliss and that sometimes not knowing things can actually protect us from harm.
As the song progresses, we hear about the importance of recognizing when it's too late to make changes and the need to understand oneself. The line "In the end you only get what you deserve" implies that we are responsible for our own destiny and that we must take ownership of our actions. The repetition of the phrase "What you don't know" throughout the song further emphasizes the theme of ignorance and encourages listeners to question their own level of self-awareness.
One interpretation of the song is that the repetitive nature of the lyrics reinforces the idea of the cycle of life whereby we make mistakes, learn from them and then are faced with similar challenges again in the future. The song encourages the listener to be brave and face these challenges head-on rather than hiding behind ignorance or blame.
