One of our favourite Nu Metal bands “Ill Nino” have recently parted ways with their vocalist Cristian Machado (Who has featured on The Underground Podcast), this is the statement from their facebook page:

Hello Everyone,

Ahrue, Christian, Dave, Diego, and Laz announce that they have reached a mutual, amicable, & binding agreement. Original members Dave Chavarri and Laz Pina are excited to continue with ILL NIÑO. Original member Cristian Machado, along with Diego Verduzco, and Ahrue Ilustre look forward to their next projects. No party has admitted fault and there has been no court judgment on the merits. The parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement.

Thank you

This is the statement from Cristians facebook page:

Hello friends! I’m announcing my official departure from ill niño. We’ve reached a fair settlement and I want to wish the band luck on their new journey. The music I wrote for the band will always exist in my heart and hopefully in yours. In other news, my acoustic album is done and shines a very bright light on the future. The first single “Die Alone” will be out late summer, it may be one of the best ones I’ve ever written. The album “Hollywood Y Sycamore” will be out late fall 2020 on Chesky Records known for their work with Macy Gray, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, and more. I want to thank those who through this ordeal have offered me guidance and given me faith. Thank you familia for having me be your comandante for over 20 years, it’s now time for this little plane to fly ✈️✈️✈️✈️ #diealone #hollywoodysycamore #cheskyrecords
