Hocico, a seminal force in the aggressive electronic music scene, hails from Mexico City and has been enthralling audiences with their distinctive blend of dark electro-industrial sounds since the early 1990s. Founding members Erik Garcia and Oscar Mayorga, cousins who perform under the pseudonyms Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam respectively, are known for their incendiary live performances and a sound characterized by harsh rhythms and caustic lyrics that explore themes of violence, corruption, and the darker sides of the human experience.

Over the years, Hocico has established a strong international following that reveres the duo's relentless sonic experimentation and social commentary. Their most recent releases, including tracks like "A Symphony Of Rage," "HyperViolent," and "Artificial Extinction," continue to deliver on the band's promise of powerful, confrontational electronics paired with an unyielding commentary on societal ills. Not content to rest on their laurels, Hocico consistently pushes the boundaries of the industrial genre, incorporating elements of techno, aggrotech, and dark EBM, reaffirming their position as pioneering torchbearers of the dark electronic music scene.
