  • Bio

    ..Ahrue Luster is the current lead guitarist for the Latin Metal band Ill Ni�o. He is also the former guitarist for Machine Head as well as Manmade God and Bay Area Thrash Metal act, The Horde of Torment who where originally called Pestilence but had to change their name because another band named Pestilence had signed with Roadrunner Records... ..Ahrue joined Ill Ni�o during the recording of their second album, Confession. He was asked to try out by long time friend, Dave Chavarri, who he had originally met during the San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal heyday of late 80's and early 90's... ..Ahrue has an ESP Signature Series guitar. The guitar was released while he was in Ill Ni�o but was based on a design that he came up with while he was still in Machine Head. The guitar is thinline, sunburst ESP viper that has spades as fret inlays. He chose the spade inlays because his mother, who bought him his first guitar, was a career blackjack dealer in Las Vegas... ..Although he wasn’t the original lead guitarist of Ill Ni�o, Ahrue has become one of the main songwriters and musical contributors. Ill Ni�o is a great fit for Ahrue musically because of his love of not only aggressive, heavy music but many other styles of music including the cultural music of South America and Spain. Ahrue grew up listening to Metal but as he became more and more of a musician he began to explore many other styles of music.. ..Ahrue’s first professional recording experience was with Machine Head on their most controversial release, The Burning Red. The record received mixed response. It was both praised and hated by fans as well as the press. The Burning Red is Machine Head’s second best selling album in the United States, however, it sold as many albums in 3 years as Burn My Eyes sold in almost 8... ..He left Machine Head because he felt creatively unfulfilled with his role in the band and was told that, as a member of Machine Head, he was not allowed to seek fulfillment in any side projects. Ahrue decided that he had to remain true to his convictions as an artist so his only choice was to leave the band... ..Ahrue has recently started producing bands in the Denver, Colorado area when he is not on tour. He is always looking for bands that he may want to work with. If you would like Ahrue to hear your music for consideration, please feel free to send a link to your bands MySpace page and a message...
