Cristian Machado, the godfather of Latin metal, best known for his tenure as lead vocalist for ill niño, will be releasing his debut solo album, Hollywood y Sycamore this fall on Chesky Records. The album sees Machado abandon the screams and screeching guitars in favor of his eclectic Latin influences and transcendent bilingual songwriting. The first single from the new album is the ethereal "Die Alone", which was penned by Machado and will be released May 8th, 2020.
Hollywood y Sycamore serves as the newest release for Chesky sub-label, Coconut Bay, which sees a departure from the single mic style live recording Chesky Records is known for and combines elements of live recording with the added impact layering provides, all captured in digital high resolution.
