Dead New World is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Ill Niño. The album was released on October 25, 2010, through Victory Records. The album has less Latin-music influence than their previous work.
Album information
The album was self-produced, with co-production coming from Clint Lowery (guitarist for Sevendust) and Sahaj Ticotin, and mixed by Eddie Wohl (36 Crazyfists, Anthrax, Smile Empty Soul). The album artwork was created by Tim Butler of XIII Designs (Disturbed, Slipknot, Metallica, Slayer, Michael Jackson).[2]
This is their first album to be released from Victory Records and it is also their first album not to feature profanity.
On June 2, 2010, Ill Niño released a brand new track, "Scarred (My Prison)", as a teaser for the new album.[3]
The first single "Against The Wall" was available October 12 for download and a video was filmed.[4] This video was released on November 23.[5]
The second single and music video "Bleed Like You" had its world premiere on February 11, while being featured in the 66th Episode of VicTorV (Victory Records TV), hosted by Ill Niño themselves.[6]
Reception
The album sold around 3,000 copies in its first week and debuted at #164 on the US Billboard 200. However, the album briefly reached the top 20 of the rock album chart on iTunes.
