Tu Veneno Mortal, Vol. 2 (transl. Your Deadly Poison, Vol. 2) is the fourth studio album by American regional Mexican group Eslabon Armado. It was released on June 25, 2021, through DEL Records. It is the first album by the group since guitarist Gabriel Hidalgo's departure from the group in 2020. It debuted at number 132 on the US Billboard 200 with 8,000 album-equivalent units and also became their fourth consecutive album to peak at number one on the US Regional Mexican Albums charts.
Background and writing
Following the release of Eslabon Armado's third studio album Corta Venas (2020), which became one of their best-performing albums, lead vocalist Pedro Tovar suffered from a writer's block, attaining no inspiration in writing and thought about hiring other songwriters. After asking his manager, Ángel del Villar, for help, he rented a resort in Los Angeles for Tovar to "relax and feel inspired". While in his travel, he eventually felt inspired in writing again. In 2021, it was announced that guitarist Gabriel Hidalgo had left the group after the remaining members, brothers Pedro and Brian Tovar, were relocating.
