Ahrue Ilustre (born September 17, 1968),[1] commonly known as Ahrue Luster, is an American guitarist. He is a current guitarist of heavy metal band Lions at the Gate and was the lead guitarist for the Ill Niño.[2] He is also a former guitarist for Machine Head,[3][4] as well as Manmade God and a Bay Area thrash metal act called The Horde of Torment, who were originally called "Pestilence" but had to change their name because another Pestilence had signed to Roadrunner Records.[citation needed]

In 2015, Luster joined the horror metal band Terror Universal founded by Ill Niño drummer Dave Chavarri.[5] He produced Motograter's second studio album, Desolation, which was released in August 2017.[citation needed] In September 2019, Nonpoint announced Luster would be their touring lead guitarist for their upcoming tour.[citation needed]
