Biography
Munich, Germany (1989 – present)
Haggard was founded in 1989 in Munich, Germany. Haggard combines classical, renaissance and medieval music with metal.
The band started out playing death metal. They changed their style after their first demo tape Introduction in 1992, became a classical/medieval/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. In 2004 they released their third album Eppur Si Muove; the theme of which is about the life of the famous Italian scholar Galileo Galilei.
