Mexican electro-industrial pioneers Hocico return with “The Screen,” a scathing new single that takes direct aim at the toxicity of the digital world. Known for their aggressive beats and uncompromising lyrics, Hocico delivers a powerful critique of online cruelty, exposing the cowardice and deception that thrive behind the anonymity of a screen.
πΉ A Brutal Callout of Digital Deception πΉ
“You spit your filth, while youβre unseen” β With “The Screen,” Hocico paints a vivid portrait of the internetβs darker corners, where trolls and keyboard warriors attack from the shadows without facing real consequences. The lyrics cut deep, unmasking the false boldness of those who hide behind their devices, only to crumble when faced with real-world confrontation.
The chorus, “You lie, you dream, you live behind the screen,” encapsulates the disconnect between digital personas and real-life insecurities, a theme vocally charged by Erk Aicragβs impassioned delivery.
πΉ Classic Hocico Energy with a Modern Edge π₯

The track blends the duoβs signature dark electronic style with a modern, urgent sound, ensuring it hits hard for longtime fans and new listeners alike.
