Hocico return with 4-track ‘The Screen’ EP – Out now
Hocico
The Mexican electro-industrial duo Hocico returns with a new single, “The Screen”. 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”. Note that the Bandcamp version is just a 1-track single.
Musically, The Screen is classic Hocico. “The Screen” is out now.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
