ILL NI?O Members Reach Agreement Over Band Name

The battle over the ILL NI?O name appears to finally be over. Earlier today, vocalist Cristian Machado, lead guitarist Ahrue "Luster" Ilustre, rhythm guitarist Diego Verduzco, drummer Dave Chavarri and bassist Laz Pina announced that they "have reached a mutual, amicable and binding agreement" that will allow Chavarri and Pina to continue with ILL NI?O while Machado, Verduzco and Ilustre will move on with new projects.

According to a joint statement release by the five musicians, "No party has admitted fault and there has been no court judgment on the merits. The parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement."

Back in January 2019, Chavarri and Pina announced that they had recruited vocalist Marcos Leal (SHATTERED SUN), lead guitarist Jes DeHoyos (SONS OF TEXAS) and rhythm guitarist Sal Dominguez (UPON A BURNING BODY) to be in their new incarnation of ILL NI?O. The Chavarri-led ILL NI?O also issued a new song called "Sangre". A day later, Machado, Ilustre and Verduzco dismissed reports that they had left ILL NI?O and vowed to continue with their own version of the band.

In a statement announcing the launch of his new version of ILL NI?O, Chavarri said about the split with his former bandmates: "Being in a band is much like being married, and sometimes people grow apart, and no longer see eye to eye, and a separation becomes inevitable."

ILL NI?O hasn't released a full-length record since 2014's "Till Death, La Familia".

In 2016 and 2017, the band celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of its debut LP, "Revolution Revoluci?n", with European and Australian tour dates.

Hello Everyone,

Ahrue, Christian, Dave, Diego, and Laz announce that they have reached a mutual, amicable, & binding.
