Amazon.co.uk Review
On the evidence of Revolution Revolución, the New-Jersey-based Ill Niño fit very neatly into the Roadrunner label's aesthetic, while still providing enough of a twist on the metal genre to carve out their own niche. While the influence of everything from Korn to Machine Head to Sepultura marches under the banner of their debut album, it's Ill Niño's Latin heritage--many of its members hail originally from South America--that makes this much more than another monochromatic nu-metal effort: the billingual "Nothing's Clear" opens with a battery of punishing percussion and frontman Cristian Machado's phlegm-spattering, pig-throttling vocals, but two minutes in it's ready to break for a surprisingly virtuoso Spanish guitar interlude. Ill Nióo's powerful Sepultura-heavy impact is hardly blunted by such bursts of startling melodicism, though; "No Murder" slips effectively between bursts of gutteral howling and passages of Tool-like anthemics with ease. The closing "With You" is the real surprise, though--a soulful, restrained four-minute long Flamenco love song that might skirt the borders of cheese, but ends Revolution Revolución on a satisfyingly light, and characteristically eclectic note. --Louis Pattison

Customer Reviews

God Save Us
This album is possibly my favourite album of all time, all tracks on this album are excellent with none of the tracks letting the album down in any way. If your thinking about buying this album but cant decide, you should buy the album........right now! you will be extremely happy with your decision. I prefer this album to confession (the latest album) but both are truly superb examples of pure genius expressed through music. The best version to buy is the extended digipac version with the bonus tracks, live recordings and also spanish versions of the songs. definetly a 5 star album from a certaintly five star band.

A hevy but melodic grinding of the senses
What can be said about a band that offers such a refreshing twist and contortion of recent metal music that would live up to the bands musical talent? The album Revolution/Revolucion has created a new genre in its self and for it to be classed as "Nu" metal simply wouldn’t give a first time listener much of an overcast of the recording. With such contrasted tracks between "What comes around" which has mixed pure brutality and aggression with the beauty and simplicity of an acoustic guitar to the very melodious and serene ending track "With you" which from the very moment is played has the ability to bring anyone to tears. As soon as I began listening to this album I knew there was no other band like them out today, even with their comparisons to the likes of Soulfly and Sepultura they have distanced themselves vastly in musical talent. The album has so many differences to modern music with reference to the sudden bi-lingual alterations between Spanish and English and also the inimitable changes between intense tribal driven metal cadences to the slow discordant acoustic fills of many of the songs. This album is a must own for any alternative music fan and if bought would not be an album that would sit at the bottom of your C.D rack.

New Boys On The Block
What a great band. Whilst listening to this CD, the Metal-Head within will jump out and start Headbanging. BUT I hear you ask, what is so different that seperates Ill Nino from the rest of the rabble ? WELL don't get me started. Ill nino combines the bulk of Metal with Spanish/Latino Beats and lyrics. The only bad word I have to put in is the unfortunate ending of the CD on "With You". Perhaps Ill Nino should have kept this for another album. Any way.... this is one of the best CD's they have brought out yet. If you Liked this perhaps you should try the album "Confession" by Ill Nino. Happy Headbanging.
