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.

Instincts of Perversion
Hocico Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can hear the call
Of your instincts they are low
This is what I want
I know you're nothing but a whore
I can smell your thirst
You need my insults on you now
I'll step on you at first
So get closer, you're too far

I bless you with my fist
The more I beat the more you need
I abuse, I live for this
Make your perversion real through me

I rape you that's fair
To my eyes you're a cheap whore
I call you like that again
So you know who I am

I belong to offense
You belong to abuse
You belong to pain
So you were born to lose

I slay your will
In front of your eyes
I humiliate you
That's what I like

I beat you more I lose control
I can even feel your soul

I want to die in this game
Which I always want to play

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hocico's "Instincts of Perversion" portray a disturbingly violent and dominant relationship between two people. The singer, likely male, is driven by his base instincts and desires to control and dominate his partner, whom he sees as nothing more than a "whore." He revels in her submissiveness and vulnerability, relishing in the power he has over her.

Throughout the song, he engages in various acts of physical and emotional abuse, from insulting her and stepping on her to outright physical violence, including beating her with his fists and even raping her. The singer euphemizes these actions, rationalizing them as fulfilling his partner's "perversion" and encouraging her to embrace her own submissiveness.

The lyrics are a disturbing portrayal of a relationship characterized by power imbalances and a complete lack of respect for the partner's autonomy and agency. The singer's actions are born of a primal need to dominate and control, a theme that runs throughout much of Hocico's music.

I can hear the call
I sense your urge

Of your instincts they are low
You crave debauchery

This is what I want
I desire this too

I know you're nothing but a whore
I acknowledge your promiscuity

I can smell your thirst
I perceive your yearning

You need my insults on you now
You require my verbal abuse

I'll dominate you initially

So get closer, you're too far
Come closer to me

The more I hurt you, the more you crave

I abuse, I live for this
I find pleasure in mistreating you
