It seems Ill Niño are moving on from the messy failed release of their two-volume “IllMortals” EP series. Those EP’s missed multiple release dates last year amid a falling out with their vocalist Marcos Leal. The Latin nü-metallers offered little in the way of clarity regarding the fate of the set, while Leal publicly blasted his ex-bandmates for their “incompetence” over the EPs, claiming the band had never actually finished them.
Ill Niño have since secured the services of an as-yet unannounced mystery singer whom they plan to reveal next week. On top of that, the band’s drummer Dave Chavarri announced yesterday, June 19th, that he has begun tracking drums for a new album from the group. Chavarri stated on his Instagram:
“Starter tracking drums for the new @illninoofficial
album. Thank you to all my endorsers for always supporting me @sonordrumco
@zildjiancompany @seelectronicsNext week we’re getting ready to announce our new singer, shoot the new Ill Nino video and release the new song that is fire ??. Psyched to be getting back on the road with this killer Summer tour, with our friends in @officialpowerman5000 @therealhedpe
