Mattador, the veteran melodic rock band from Puerto Rico, returns with "III" — their powerful new studio album of all-original material. Originally active from 1988 to 1995, the band earned a loyal following thanks to their explosive live shows and a unique blend of hard rock and Latin influences, performing alongside legends like Aerosmith and Iron Maiden and gaining attention across the European rock scene.

Reunited in 2022, the founding members reignited their creative fire, channeling decades of experience into 12 brand-new tracks. From soaring power ballads to riff-heavy anthems and high-octane rockers, "III" captures Mattador's signature sound with renewed energy and vision.

Co-produced and engineered by Bob St. John (Extreme, Dokken, Collective Soul), the album also marks the beginning of the band's collaboration with Frontiers Music Srl, the acclaimed rock label based in Italy, poised to bring their music to a global audience.

The current lineup features original members Michael Villegas (vocals), Carlos Benitez (drums, vocals), Miguel "Tito" Rodriguez (guitar, violin), and new member Abraham Millet (bass, keyboards). Together, they forge a unique sound that combines the melodic sensibilities of classic Rock with an undercurrent of Hard Rock with a hint of Prog and a contemporary edge. Rooted in Puerto Rico and ready for the world stage, Mattador is back — tighter, louder, and more inspired than ever.
