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.

Their logo is a six legged spider with an H on its back.

The Spanish word Hocico (pronounced "Oseeko") means snout and is a derogatory term that indicates ugliness (i.e., ugly as a dog's snout).

Racso Agroyam has a side project called Dulce Liquido.
Erk Aicrag's solo project is called Rabia Sorda.

En Otro Lado
Hocico Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ella:Como son las personas por dentro.
El: Bueno la mayoria siente que estan separados,
Separados de todo,
Son absolutamente parte de todo
Y de todos,
Es porque llegan a un punto,
En donde no pueden ver mas alla,
Un punto en el que les enseñaron a estar

Desconectados de todo...
Y que no hay necesidad de esconderse o mentir...

Entonces es posible hablar con las personas
Sin engaños, sin sarcasmos, sin decepciones,

Sin exageraciones, sin ninguna de las cosas
Que la gente usa para confundir la verdad.

Overall Meaning

In "En Otro Lado" by Hocico, the lyrics are a conversation between two individuals, Ella and El. Ella first poses a question to El, asking about how people are on the inside. El's response is reflective and introspective, noting that most people feel separated and disconnected from the world around them. They believe they are a part of everything and everyone, yet can only see a limited point of view. This narrow perspective is something they were taught and trained to believe, which keeps them from having a deeper connection to the world.

El goes on to state that it is possible to have honest and genuine communication with others if we can remove the layers of deceit and confusion that are often present in social interactions. He emphasizes that we should acknowledge our separations and be truthful in our interactions, without the need to hide or misrepresent ourselves.

Overall, the message of the song appears to be a call for deep introspection and a reminder to stay true to oneself and others around us, rather than conforming to socially conditioned norms that may lead to a sense of disconnection and isolation.
