Germany (1991 – present)

Haggard is a symphonic metal band founded in 1991 in Germany. Haggard combines folk, classical, renaissance and medieval music with modern metal.

The band started out playing death metal. They changed their style after their first demo tape Introduction in 1992, became a symphonic metal band and produced two albums dealing with the seer Michel de Notredame in the dark days of The Black Plague in Europe. The album And Thou Shalt Trust… The Seer marked their breakthrough in 1997. After their second album Awaking the Centuries, they toured through Mexico twice. They are quite famous and well known in South America, almost more so than in Germany.
