Few other bands have left their imprint on the hard side of electronic dance music as heavily as the Mexican duo HOCICO has done in the past two decades. Often copied but never bettered, Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam stand for innovative sound design, uncompromising club anthems, whipping beats and aggro-attacks that hit it where it hurts. And now, just in time for their new long playing album "Tiempos de Furia", the Mexican group are unleashing a comprehensive anthology on four double-CD releases: "Cronicas Letales: A Music Collection", parts I-IV!
Included are all of the band's albums up until "Wrack And Ruin", as well as all accompanying singles, EPs and exclusive compilation tracks, some of them previously unreleased on CD, all in newly remastered glory. As such, "Cronicas Letales" is not only the ideal introduction for newcomers to Hocico's sonic hellfire, but also the long-awaited opportunity for fans to complete their collection with all those rare tracks they could previously only obtain with a lot of luck and for a lot of money at record fairs. Hocico: music as a weapon... a lethal weapon!
Part I of the collection is a double CD (at the price of a single CD) featuring the complete debut album "Odio Bajo El Alma" (1997) plus a track from the early demo "Triste Desprecio" (1995/6) on CD1, with the EP "The Cursed Land" (1998) and the mini-album "El Dia de la Ira" (1998) on CD2. 26 tracks in total.
