ILL NIÑO�s Latin roots run bloody and deep. As innovative and refreshing as their sound is, they're nearly impossible to describe: Spanish lyrics, flamenco guitars, tribal drums and percussion, Salsa-infused bass lines, and thunderous metal riffs. ILL NIÑO brings all of those qualities together masterfully on are very much in evidence on THE UNDER COVER SESSIONS, the bi-lingual Latino Metal sextet�s first recording for Cement Shoes Records, the new rock label distributed by FONTANA/Universal.

The five-song EP contains three covers of their favorite songs from acts they loved growing up as fans � Faith No More ("Zombie Eaters"), Nirvana ("Territorial Pissings") and Peter Gabriel ("Red Rain") - plus two brand new songs ("Arrastra" and "Reservation for Two"), all overseen by legendary producer Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne), Dave Chavarri and Eddie Wohl (Anthrax, 36 Crazyfists, Machine Head). The EP is just a taste of what's to come from ILL NIÑO, as their highly anticipated fourth full-length studio album, due for a Spring 2007 delivery, is destined to be the band's most influential release to date.
