Hocico ( pronunciation : [ oˈsiko ] ( Mexican Spanish )) is a Mexican band from the electro field .
history
The two Mexicans Erk Aicrag (lyrics and vocals) and Racso Agroyam (programming) formed a band in 1993 under the name Hocico de Perro . The somewhat strange-looking (and not very Spanish-sounding) names of the two are Ananyme of their real names Erik Garcia and Oscar Mayorga. A six-legged spider with an H on its back is the symbol of the two cousins who have shared their musical experiences and interests since childhood. At the age of 15 years Racso started with a Yamaha - Keyboard to experiment. At the same time, Erk started singing rehearsals and wrote the first texts.
"Little by little, we began to join our forces."
Before 1993, Racso had no mixing or recording options and so he concentrated on training himself.
The majority of the song lyrics deal with topics such as depictions of hatred and violence or the rejection of religion . The distorted, aggressive vocals are in English or Spanish . With the songs Starving Children (German: "Hungering Children") and Tales from the Third World (German: "Stories from the Third World") the band also released two socially critical songs about their Mexican homeland.
Hocico's first live appearance was on February 18, 1994. The band has the largest fan base worldwide in Germany and appears at major music festivals on the black scene such as the Wave-Gotik-Treffen , the Amphi Festival or the M'era Luna Festival . The band released their first official CD with the Berlin- based record label Out of Line and has been under contract with them ever since. Out Of Line distributes the CDs in Europe, in North America they publish their CDs on Metropolis Records .
