Revolution Revolución is the debut album by the American heavy metal band Ill Niño. It has sold over 430,00 copies worldwide.[11] It was the only album to feature guitarist Marc Rizzo, who left the band in 2003 to join Soulfly, and percussionist Roger Vasquez, who also left in 2003 and was replaced by Daniel Couto for the second album, Confession. The album was recorded from November 2000 to February 2001.[12][13]

Reception

Q magazine gave the album 3 stars out of 5 and said, "South American nu-metal with a strong Latin undercurrent... frontman Christian Marchado is equally adept at venting his spleen in English and Spanish."[9] Allmusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5 and said, "This is an excellent debut for fans who lean more to the cerebral side of modern metallic endeavors."
