“Racso Agroyam和Erk Aicrag,两个身处墨西哥城日益上升的精神和肉体暴力中的愤怒的幸存者,1993年以Hocico的名字崭露头角。这是一个黑暗工业电子组合,他们在怜悯与愤怒中猛烈抨击着人类正趋恶化的精神世界。”
Hocico早在他们十几岁时就存在了。1989年他们和朋友(两个人本身就是亲戚)组建了“Ninera Degenerada”。“Hocico”是一个富有侵略性的词语,在墨西哥它有惹是生非的嫌疑,是诅咒的话,类似对人某种形式的攻击。背上有个H的六脚蜘蛛是Hocico的标记。
他们的歌曲内容涉及谎言与性虐,还有死亡与伤害。Hocico一直探索着音乐的新概念,创造着黑暗且带有侵略性的声音:恶梦般的氛围,古典的风韵,节奏被兴奋与暴怒驱使。他们的音乐传达着墨西哥城的暴力,孤独和不公,进而展示了社会的错误——让音乐自己说话。
The Mexican group Hocico was officially formed in 1993 by Erk Aicrag (lyrics & vocals) and Racso Agroyam (synthesizer, programming). The names are ananyms of the real names Erik Garcia and Oscar Mayorga. Both cousins had been experimenting with electronic music, mixing Industrial and EBM, since they were fifteen years old and formed a band in 1992 called Hocico de Perro. The first live gig of Hocico was on February 18, 1994. Their music can be described as dark and aggressive electronica. Their lyrics are mostly English although some songs are in Spanish.
The Spanish word hocico means snout and is a derogatory term that indicates ugliness (i.e., ugly as a dog's snout).
