Additional notes
Founded by Luis Tárraga and Javier Gómez "Cozy" in november, 1986. In their demo days, Hamlet began playing Melodic Hard Rock/AOR in English. They even recorded an album for Avispa entitled Life goes on with tracks like Danger, Magic Child, Shouts, To be or not to be or I want your Fire, but it never was released.
In the early 90s they switched to sing in Spanish and approached, first to sleazy rock (Hamlet EP, 1991) and then to the metallic hard rock sound of Skid Row (Peligroso, 1992).
From 1994 onwards they definitively stayed in the grounds of Groove Metal, with not unusual incursions in the Alternative Rock and Mallcore trends during the late 90s and early 2000's.
