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.

Tortura-Visión
Hamlet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ven vas a observar
te voy a castigar
con torturavisión
que cruel, no, por favor

Dejadme pensar, no quiero visionar
Dejadme pensar, acaso no lo ves
Dejadme pensar, dejadme pensar

Distraer a base de cotillear en la vida social
declarar todo su amor en un puto plató

Engañados

Me crees imbécil para no saber
que 2 y 2 son 4, 4 y 2 son 6
si este es tu modo de culturizar
podéis llamrme anti-cultural

Dejadme pensar, no quiero visionar
Dejadme pensar, acaso no lo ves
Dejadme pensar, dejadme pensar

Falsear toda información, desviar toda mi atención
herir nuestra sensibilidad, sin moral, objetivo llorar
esto es, basura visual

Dejadme pensar, no quiero visionar
Dejadme pensar, acaso no lo ves
Dejadme pensar, dejadme pensar

No, manipular, manipular.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hamlet's song Tortura-Visión convey a powerful message against the manipulation and distortion of information by the media. The main theme of the song is the use of "torturavisión" (torture vision) to punish those who dare to think for themselves and challenge the preconceptions imposed by the media. The song denounces the tactics used by the media to distract people from thinking critically about what they are being told, and instead focus their attention on trivial matters or distorted information.

The opening lines of the song, "Ven vas a observar, te voy a castigar, con torturavisión, que cruel, no, por favor" (Come and observe, I'm going to punish you, with torture vision, how cruel, no, please), set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is warning the listener that by observing the media's distorted version of reality, they are subjecting themselves to a form of punishment that is both cruel and dehumanizing. The chorus, "Dejadme pensar, no quiero visionar, acaso no lo ves, dejadme pensar" (Let me think, I don't want to watch, can't you see, let me think), is a plea for freedom of thought and expression.

The song also criticizes the media's focus on celebrity gossip and reality television, instead of addressing important social and political issues. The line "distraer a base de cotillear en la vida social, declarar todo su amor en un puto plató" (distract by gossiping about social life, declaring all their love on a damn set) expresses the singer's frustration with the superficiality and shallowness of the media. The song ends with a call to action, "No, manipular, manipular" (No, manipulate, manipulate), urging people to resist the manipulation of the media and to think for themselves.
