Details:
20 years of walking through fire! 20 years of raising voices to bark against all the shit in the world! 20years of unique and fat Electro-sounds!“Los Días Caminando En El Fuego” celebrates a band that has single-handedly set new benchmark superlatives when it comes to Hard-Electro-sounds and that is a massive influence on an entire genre!A band that has spawned dozens or maybe even hundreds of epigones and that has put Mexico on the map for innovative and harsh electronic music. A band that has not bowed to anyone for 2 decades and that still sticks an angry fist in the face of global and human evils.It would certainly not be fitting to celebrate Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam who have created an output of such relevance for the global Electro scene with a mere, hastily plastered-together “best of”-compilation.It was thus a perfect coincidence that Racso discovered a treasure trove of dozens not finalized songs from the early days of the band when he repaired and reactivated the trusty old Yamaha workstation on which Hocico had recorded all their old material. How could you better celebrate two decades of band history than with a trip to the past? Driven by enthusiasm, Erk and Racso set to work at their old sound factory to put the finishing touches on these treasures from the past and to merge previously unheard gems from the past with today’s experience on “Los Días Caminando En El Fuego.”The result is a massive milestone of an album filled with full frontal electronic assaults that will not haveto fear comparison with any of the group’s early classics: 15 tracks of vintage Hocico presented in the audio quality of today, plus the completely new song “Thy Kingdom Come!”Released late October, 2013 on Out of Line Records.Track Listing:01 Ancestros, Das Feuer and The Past (20 Years Ago)02 Fade into Oblivion03 Thy Kingdom Come04 Come and Eat it!05 Song of Hate06 Open the Gates of Hell07 Army of Puppets08 Saviors09 El Renacer de los Caídos10 I"m insane11 Dissolve Me12 Silencio en la Tierra de los Suenos13 Trust (The Cure cover)14 The Dreamers15 Go fuc* Yourself!16 Follow Me down
