We are NOT friends collectors. We are a honest metal band, in search of honest metal contacts with whom we identify. If we think you or your band look like a bunch of playboys having fun with prog / melodic / gothic / atmospheric / industrial / emo / contemporary stuff you call metal, we simply are not going to add you. It is THAT simple, so please, do not lose your time requesting. On the other hand, if we think you really love and understand the vintage rock / metal spirit, be welcome to our family. Thanks for comprehending that. 70's hard, 80's classic/thrash metal and 80's german power metal are most welcome. Father DIO once said: "long live rock and roll". So, let it roll.
What the Press is Saying!
Biography
Classic, raw and punchy Heavy Metal, is what can be found when listening to Hazy Hamlet. Aiming at the roots, the group seeks in vintage hard/heavy bands from 70s and 80s inspiration for its music, timbres, attitude and a great passion for valve amps. Its lyrics approaches epic themes, death, war, human degradation and praise to Heavy Metal itself.
Conceived in 1999 as a Power Metal band, in Maringa, Parana, south of Brazil, Hazy Hamlet has suffered some line-up changes, having by the year of 2001 recored and produced demo-CD Hazy Tales. Even with a modest production and a bad sound, this first material has granted good reviews in national international territory. In 2003 the band released Revelation EP, and in 2005 - reduced to a quartet - an online single called Chrome Heart, material which kept granting excelent reviews from different places worldwide.
After some difficult years and a new change, Hazy Hamlet - composed of Arthur Migotto (V), Julio Bertin (G), Fabio Nakahara (B) and Cadu Madera (D) - has achieved a new important moment on its life. Fidel to the roots, and proudly sounding more classic and dated, it has released on the date of 25.04.2009 its first full-length, intitled Forging Metal, and now can finally watch its banner waving triumphant with a new lemma: "Proud to be Loud!"
(October): U.D.O, METALIUM, SUNDOWN SINDROME, DARK TOWER, DARKSIDE, KRIS KANCLER(Super Star), AT WAR and SOTAHUUTO!
