comment...: |
In the 4 tracks on the new EP the duo delivers “a scathing critique of
modern society’s darker side, focusing on the cruelty and cowardice that thrive
behind the anonymity of digital screens.”
More specifically, the lyrics of “The Screen” for instance are a direct attack
on the toxic behaviour of online trolls and keyboard warriors who hide behind
their devices to spread hate and venom. In Aicrag’s lyrics it sounds like this:
“You spit your filth, while you’re unseen” and “Your boldness dies when we’re
eye to eye.” Besides “The Screen”, the EP holds the tracks “Fallen Paradise”,
“Twisted Promises” and “A Symphony of Rage”.
biography.: |
Hocico is a Mexican dark electro band, commonly placed in the aggrotech
subgenre. The band was officially formed in Mexico City, Mexico in 1993
by Erk Aicrag (lyrics & vocals) and Racso Agroyam (programming), but
both cousins had been making electronic music since they were fifteen
years old. The names are anagrams of the real names Erik Garcia and
Oscar Mayorga. Their music can be described as dark and aggressive
electronica or more specifically as aggrotech. The lyrics are commonly
in English, however, they are sometimes in Spanish. <a
