Ill NIno releases new video

Latin metal masters ILL NIÑO and MetalUnderground.com have just debuted the brand new music video for ‘Against the Wall’. The video is directed by Scott Hansen, who has worked with the likes of A Day to Remember, Otep, Alesana, and more, and was shot in Virginia Beach, VA in October. The video is cut from the band’s most recent release, Dead New World, which hit stores on October 25th, 2010. Fans can purchase the single for ‘Against the Wall’ now on iTunes.

“The video was shot in the evening so there was a large amount of bugs. It was like Spider-fest,” jokes drummer Dave Chavarri. “Bugs aside, Scott made sure everything worked smoothly. He’s a total professional, and it was great to see him take control of the shoot. We haven’t had someone work with us like that for a couple of years.”

“We did something like a 20 hour shoot in the swamps,” adds vocalist Cristian Machado. “Scott is a really driven individual. He knew exactly what he wanted, where he wanted people in the video, the camera angles he wanted to end up with, everything. He and his crew were extremely professional.”

“The reason we’re performing in the woods where there are no material things, is because we wanted to represent things that aren’t of the material world,” continues Machado. “The reason the couple is indoors during the video and going through their relationship battle is because they are being pressured by things in the material world. To me, the female character went into the water because she wanted to get away from all of the material things affecting her and their relationship. No matter how material we all are in this world, we all die alone.”

ILL NIÑO is expected to announce a brand new January tour very soon! This will be the first time the band is touring in the states in two years! Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming tour.
