Having gained traction and new audiences with their recent high-profile collaborations with Prayers and Till Lindemann, and shortly after revealing their new single "Dark Paradigm", Mexican industrial-electro icons Hocico finally reveal their upcoming album "Unseen Horror Scenes", to be released on May 8th, 2026, via Out Of Line Music, now available for pre-order.

On this new studio assault, Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam dissect the digital age’s paranoia, addiction, betrayal and spiritual decay with surgical aggression. No escape, pure confrontation. Track by track, “Unseen Horror Scenes” drags listeners through algorithmic madness (“Brainrot”), online cowardice (“The Screen”), scorched-earth rage (“Hey Tú!” feat. Rafael Reyes of Prayers) and the smoldering ruins of a “Fallen Paradise.”

From the opening attack “Dark Paradigm” to the apocalyptic closer “Echoes of the End,” the album pulses with hyperkinetic drum & bass injections, punishing industrial beats, razor-edged EBM sequences and Erk’s unmistakable, venom-drenched vocals. It’s raw, furious and thematically disturbingly accurate for our times...

Hocico openly critique modern decay - yet they also amplify it, distort it, and make you dance inside it.

"Unseen Horror Scenes" will be released May 8th, 2026 as: 

The exclusive Chili-filled vinyl titled "Fuego Puro" has real chili flakes embedded in the record and is a very special, unique piece for every fan and collector. It contains select tracks from the new album and is strictly limited to 100 pieces worldwide.
