Cristian Machado provides great interview material. When asked a question, he takes a deep breath, thinks for a while, then he spills everything out like a brainstorming, and does his best to have it make sense. We’re far from the pre-arranged answers you get from other musicians. Even better, he’s glad to illustrate his answers with personal anecdotes, and he isn’t afraid to speak from the heart.
Here, at Radio Metal, we love these interviews that take us somewhere else entirely, just like our chat with Arjen Lucassen. So right in the middle of this interview, we went off course for a while, as Cristian touchingly told us about his childhood. Growing up overseas, with no ties, and oblivious to his father’s identity, young Cristian was in awe when he discovered an Iron Maiden album. The memory is still crystal-clear, and he tells us all about it. The story allowed us to debate about what brought us towards heavy metal, which, in the end, doesn’t have that much to do with Ill Niño, but turns out to be by far the most interesting part of this interview.
