Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam, two angry survivors of the physical and mental violence that increases daily on the streets of Mexico City, founded Hocico in 1993, a hard electro band that fights against the decay of the human spirit with compassion and anger.
In search of new musical concepts, Hocico creates dark and aggressive sounds: nightmarish atmospheres, classical landscapes and driving beats charged with adrenaline and rage. They channel the violence, isolation and social ills of Mexico City into their music to show what society has done wrong – and let the music speak for itself.
After 21 years in the underground scene, Hocico has become one of the most influential bands in the harder electronic music genre. Erk and Racso are constantly pushing themselves to be drivers and innovators in the global dark and industrial scene. Hocico’s trademarks are catchy melodies and a highly creative sound design that creates an addictive club-ready hell ride.
