Active since 1987, they are considered one of the biggest bands of alternative metal in Spanish. Their sound is characterised by strong riffs layered with melody, coupled with a very melodic voice that is sometimes raw.

The English text is a direct internet translation, so it might not read too well. The original spanish text is at the bottom:
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.

Libertad
Hamlet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pesadilla reverente, referente hacia un extremo
Apartado, deportado, simplemente difamado
Detenido, despojado, eufemismo maquillado
Podrido, oscuro amanecer
Mirar y no poder creer
Mordazas para hacer callar
Miserias para unificar
Libertad

Olvidados, repudiados, obligados a su suerte
Divididos, señalados, definiendo decadente
Escapando, occidente y su vergüenza atrás se esconde
La vida sin identidad
Secretos que no revelar
Hermanos para delatar
Vigilan tu sinceridad
Libertad

Toda la razón con la sinrazón no tiene lugar
Donde enmudecer, donde avasallar, donde distanciar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hamlet's song "Libertad" convey a strong sense of oppression, injustice, and the struggle for freedom. The song explores the various ways in which individuals are silenced, marginalized, and stripped of their identities.

The opening lines of the song paint a picture of a nightmare-like reality where individuals are constantly subjected to extreme conditions. The use of words such as "pesadilla" (nightmare), "detenido" (detained), and "podrido" (rotten) suggests a society in decay, where people are trapped and powerless. The repetition of words like "referente" (reference) and "difamado" (defamed) emphasizes the systematic nature of this oppression, where individuals are targeted and delegitimized.

The second paragraph delves deeper into the experiences of the marginalized and forgotten. It conveys a sense of individuals being cast aside, rejected, and forced to face their destinies alone. The words "olvidados" (forgotten) and "repudiados" (repudiated) highlight the abandonment these individuals feel, while "divididos" (divided) and "señalados" (pointed at) suggest the isolation and stigmatization they endure. The reference to "occidente" (the West) and its hidden shame implies that even in supposedly free societies, these injustices persist.

The third paragraph delves into the consequences of living without identity and the need to guard one's secrets. The phrase "vida sin identidad" (life without identity) suggests a world where individuals are stripped of their sense of self, where they are faceless and nameless. This anonymity creates a climate of fear, where one must hide their truth to avoid persecution. The mention of "hermanos para delatar" (brothers to betray) highlights the pervasive atmosphere of surveillance and mistrust, as people are coerced into betraying each other to survive.

The final lines of the song convey a sense of defiance and a search for a space where reason can prevail over irrationality. The phrase "toda la razón con la sinrazón no tiene lugar" (reason has no place amidst irrationality) reflects the struggle to maintain dignity and coherence in a world that seems devoid of logic. The repetition of phrases like "donde enmudecer" (where to be silenced) and "donde avasallar" (where to overpower) suggests a search for a sanctuary where oppression and distancing are absent, where freedom can truly exist.

In summary, "Libertad" explores the themes of oppression, marginalization, and the fight for freedom. It emphasizes the experiences of those who have been silenced, marginalized, and stripped of their identities. The lyrics depict a bleak reality where individuals are constantly surveilled, forced into submission, and isolated. At the same time, there is a call for resistance and a yearning for a space where reason and freedom can triumph over oppression and injustice.
