The beginning of Hamlet as group goes back to distant the 1987, the logical changes of formation the connection between personalities and the musical course to choose obtained that their present formation is one of the most lasting within the panorama rocker of the world. In his more than one decade of existence like the creative force par excellence in the Hard Rock and the Hardcore/Metal, Hamlet has been able to expand so much musical, as at level of followers, the borders of extreme music. With his sixth titled work homonimamente "Hamlet", the band that has fomented east sort in Castilian, is redefined once again. The disc supposes the opening of a new door for Hamlet, a new way and a new state of musical anxiety. Hamlet becomes involved here in natural rates and "Hamlet", the album flows with an energy and a spirit of infinite possibility. The attractive persistence of the guitar, founder and composer Luis Tárraga, next to their reliable and active companion of Pedro instrument Sanchez, the forceful battery of the maquina Alpaca Sanchez, the exquisite contribution of Augusto Hernandez to the low one, plus the disquieting contribution of their singer and J.Molly composer causes that Hamlet is a highly dangerous product. Tons of dense, dark, impressive, and winding music, that speech of intemporales questions of high social content, which the human being must recall to mind. Produced by Colin Richardson (Fear Factory, Death Napalm, Machine Head, Five Point 0...), in the studies Sonic Ranch of Texas, in the U.S.A.. The black album of Hamlet is destined to become another essential reference in the panorama of the most extreme Metal. They have raised the strip, and they have exceeded it, but that is what Hamlet takes doing from their creation.

Hamlet es un grupo de metal alternativo de Madrid (España), en activo desde 1987, considerado el impulsor de éste género en castellano. Su sonido se caracteriza por potentes riffs no exentos de melodía junto con una voz también melódica que se alterna con partes crudas.
El comienzo de Hamlet como grupo se remonta al lejano 1987, los lógicos cambios de formación el acoplamiento entre personalidades y el rumbo musical a elegir consiguieron que su formación actual sea una de las más duraderas dentro del panorama rockero del mundo. En su más de una década de existencia como la fuerza creativa por excelencia en el Hard Rock y el Hardcore/Metal, Hamlet han conseguido expandir tanto musical, como a nivel de seguidores, las fronteras de la música extrema.
Con su sexto trabajo titulado homonimamente "Hamlet", la banda que ha fomentado este género en castellano, se redefine una vez más. El disco supone la apertura de una nueva puerta para Hamlet, un nuevo camino y un nuevo estado de ansiedad musical. Hamlet aquí se envuelve en ritmos naturales y "Hamlet", el álbum fluye con una energía y un espíritu de posibilidad infinita.
El atrayente empeño del guitarra, fundador y compositor Luis Tárraga, junto a su cumplidor y activo compañero de instrumento Pedro Sánchez, la contundente batería de la maquina Paco Sánchez, la exquisita aportación de Augusto Hernández al bajo, más la inquietante aportación de su cantante y compositor J.Molly hacen que Hamlet sea un producto altamente peligroso. Toneladas de música densa, oscura, impactante, y sinuosa, que habla de cuestiones intemporales de alto contenido social, sobre las que el ser humano debe recapacitar.
Producido por Colin Richardson (Fear Factory, Napalm Death, Machine Head, Five Point 0...), en los estudios Sonic Ranch de Texas, en EE.UU. El álbum negro de Hamlet está destinado a convertirse en otra referencia imprescindible en el panorama del Metal más extremo.
Han levantado el listón, y lo han excedido, pero eso es lo que Hamlet llevan haciendo desde su creación.

El diablo
Hamlet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Salgo a su lado del hotel
comienzo a estar nervioso,
allí pactamos empreder
un viaje sin retorno.

Debo confesar que siento miedo
no logro comprender aquel intento.

El diablo frente a mí y yo indefenso,
el diablo frente a mí y tú en silencio.

Cuatro viajeros y un volcán
buscan entendimiento,
millas desierto y conectar
con alguien tan perverso.

Cuando decidió acercamiento,
su instinto le avisó, fui tan violento.

El diablo frente a mí y yo indefenso,
el diablo frente a mí y tú en silencio.

Nunca su rostro olvidaré,
jamás esa locura,
fue tan absurdo pensar que
él lo compartiría.

El diablo frente a mí.
