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.

Hocico Lyrics

Show me your vices
My vice is you
And it's destroying me deep inside
Show me your sickness
My cancer is you
And it's eating my inner cells insane
Show me your wounds
My wound is you

And it will open forever more
Show me your addiction
My addiction is you
And that's exactly what I refuse
All I need is what I get
You can have me is what you said
I can tell you what I've got
All is nightmares, all is false
It's eating me insane
My body is bruised
My body is scattered
I wish you're dead
I guess you're dead
Recall my name when nothing else stays
You'll never get the answers on old days

Recall my scars when you take off your disguise
While falling dreams are calling and taking your life
