History

Hamlet's history goes back to the late 1980s, when the five members decided to form a band using the name of one of the best-known works of writer William Shakespeare. After several concerts, they recorded a mini LP titled "Hamlet" with a style influenced by the era of hard rock. They continued to use the same style in the first official recording of the group, but with some changes (including formation). Peligroso was released in 1992 by DRO. The group was not very happy with the final work and this is the reason why the record is widely unknown.

1993: Sanatorio de Muñecos ("The True Beginning")

More concerts and self-promotion lead J. Molly, Luis Tárraga, Pedro Sanchez, Paco Sanchez, and Augusto Fernandez to move to Tampa, Florida in 1993 to Morrisound Studios with producer and owner Tom Morris (Sepultura, Coroner, Morbid Angel) and record their second proper album Sanatorio de Muñecos. Without pressure, they were able to express all their musical influences (Sepultura, Pantera, Faith No More), and Hamlet formed their own sound. Their lyrics involve current topics and fans praise their musical evolution.
