# Ricardo Iorio

**Ricardo Iorio** is a heavy metal band, from Argentina, active 1962 to 2023.

Ricardo Horacio Iorio was an Argentine heavy metal singer and bassist. He was one of the founders of V8 (1979–1987) and later founded the band Hermética (1988–1994). He was the singer and main composer for Almafuerte from 1995 until its dissolution in 2016. His songs were urban stories dealing with the life of the lower classes, as well as Argentine "metalheads". Even though he played bass with every band he formed, he chose Beto Ceriotti to be the new bassist of Almafuerte, remaining as the singer and main lyricist of the band.
