'''Ricardo Iorio''' is a musician from UsefulNotes/{{Argentina}}. He began as a bassist, then a bassist who made chorus, then a [[LeadBassist bassist singer]], and finally a singer. He took part in neighbourhood bands with some friends, and then he created V8, the first HeavyMetal band in Argentina. The most famous line-up was Iorio-Civile-Rowek-Zamarbide, which recorded the first two [=LPs=]. Civile left the band, and then Rowek. Walter Giardino (who would lead Rata Blanca years later) joined V8 for a couple of months, and left. The third line-up had Cenci, Roldán, Iorio and Zamarbide, recorded the third LP. Iorio's partners became involved with religious ideas and sought to promote them with the band, which was resisted by Iorio and led to the breakup. With bassist José Amurín, the last V8 lineup continued as Logos.

And then, he made his third and most successful band, Almafuerte. He became the singer of all songs, and recorded several studio and live [=CDs=] until the band's hiatus in 2016. He has his own record label, called ''Dejesú Records'', named after a CatchPhrase from him.

** Hermética's "Intérpretes".
** "Ayer Deseo, Hoy Realidad" and "Tangos y Milongas" as a solo artist.
* CoverVersion: Several covers of tangos and folk songs with both Hermética and Almafuerte, plus [[Music/{{Motorhead}} El As de Espadas (Ace of Spades)]] with Los Natas.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Some V8 songs like "Lanzado al mundo hoy" mention Heavy Metal, and Intérpretes features a cover song of "No Class" from Music/{{Motorhead}}. In time, he would become a vocal critic of Argentine artists singing in English, and talk about the music genre only as "Metal pesado".

* ItsAllAboutMe: Since "Del Entorno", most songs are simply Iorio singing about himself.

* RevolvingDoorBand: Several drummers passed through Almafuerte, them being Claudio Cardacci (for "Mundo Guanaco"), Walter Martínez (from "Del Entorno" up to "A Fondo Blanco") and Adrián "Bin" Valencia (from "Piedra Libre" onwards). Then there's Iorio going full voice and delegating bass dues to Alberto Ceriotti.

** In V8, the songs "Tiempos Metálicos" and "Brigadas Metálicas" (Metal Times and Metal Squads) are directed towards the conformist hippism of earlier eras.
** Hermetica has "Dejá De Robar" ("Stop Stealing"), directed towards Walter Giardino, and "Buscando Razón" ("Finding Reason"), a song towards some artist which we don't know who is.

** After Hermetica's breakup, two bands formed: Almafuerte, led by Iorio, and Malon, led by the remaining members. On their first records, both bands would fire at each other. Almafuerte with "El amasijo de un gran sueño" ("The death of a big dream") and Malón with "La fábula del avestruz y el jabalí". ("The fable of the ostrich and the boar") Two years later, Malón disbanded, and Almafuerte celebrated it with "Triunfo". ("Victory")

!Discography with Almafuerte

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: "Moraleja", in the cd "Víctimas del Vaciamiento". Ten songs of powerful thrash metal... and then, a folk song. This became the blueprint for Almafuerte's discography, which included at least one folk song in each album since then.

** "Ayer Deseo, Hoy Realidad" as a solo artist.

'''Ricardo Iorio'''. It seems like a sacriledge to talk about him in English... but well, here we go.

He is a musician from Argentina. He began as a bassist, then a bassist who made chorus, then a bassist singer, and finally a singer. He took part in neighbourhood bands with some friends, and then he created V8, the first Heavy Metal band in Argentina. The most famous line-up was Iorio-Civile-Rowek-Zamarbide, which recorded the first two [=LPs=]. Civile left the band, and then Rowek. Walter Giardino (who would lead Rata Blanca years later) joined V8 for a couple of months, and left. The third line-up had Cenci, Roldán, Iorio and Zamarbide, recorded the third LP. Iorio's partners became involved with religious ideas and sought to promote them with the band, which was resisted by Iorio and led to the breakup. With bassist José Amurín, the last V8 lineup continued as Logos.

And then, he made his third and most successful band, Almafuerte. He became the singer of all songs, and recorded several studio and live Cds.

* Iorio & Flavio: Peso Argento - 1997
* Ayer Deseo, hoy realidad - 2008

* CoverVersion: Iorio made 2 cover discs, "Intérpretes" and "Ayer Deseo, Hoy Realidad". He also made several covers of tangos and folk songs.
* IAmTheBand: And for whoever disagrees with Iorio in this, [[RevolvingDoorBand there is the door]]

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Claudio O'Connor, Claudio Strunz, Claudio Marciello, Claudio Cardacci...
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: "Moraleja", in the cd "Víctimas del Vaciamiento". Ten songs of powerful thrash metal... and then, a weird folk song.

* WelcomeBackTraitor: Averted. When Iorio breaks with someone, he means it. He never took part in any reunion of V8 or Hermética, not even for a single show.

* StartMyOwn: That was the spirit when he began with Hermética and Almafuerte, make something different and better than his previous works. Hermética is not "V8 with other members and new name", but a completely different band with an unique style, and the same goes for Almafuerte. Even internationally, how many artists have developed a personal style '''3 different times'''?

!Tropes related with him and/or his works:

*

Iorio made a new band, Hermética, this time full thrash metal. The singer Claudio O'Connor and guitarrist Antonio Romano stayed all the time, and the first drummer was quickly replaced by Tony Scotto. They recorded the first LP, where Iorio made some chorus here and there, and then a short LP with covers. Scotto was replaced by Claudio Strunz, making the most famous line-up of Hermética. They recorded two studio CDs and two live albums; Iorio singed some full songs now. The band broke-up shortly before the release of the second live album, and Iorio and his partners accused each other for the breakup.

And then, he made his third and most successful band, Almafuerte. He became the singer of all songs, and recorded several studio and live CDs.
