Germany (1991 – present)
Haggard was founded in 1991 in Germany. Haggard combines classical, renaissance, and medieval music with death 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.
Just before their album Awaking The Centuries the band had its highest number of musicians at 21. Currently the ensemble consists of 16 musicians. All their songs are written by vocalist and guitarist Asis Nasseri.
Current Musicians:
Asis Nasseri - Vocals, Guitar (1991-)
Luz Marsen - Drums, Kettledrums (1991-)
Fiffi Fuhrmann - Tenor, Crumhorn, Bassoon (1994-)
Hans Wolf - Piano, Harpsichord, Keyboards, Organ (1994-)
Steffi Hertz - Viola (1994-)
Michael Stapf - Violin, Piccolo (1994, 2000-)
Claudio Quarta - Guitar (2000-)
Veronika Kramheller - Soprano (2003-)
Susanne Ehlers - Soprano (2004-)
Tom - Tenor
Johannes Schleiermacher - Cello (2004-)

HAGGARD es lo mejor, me gusta mucho su metal sinfónico mas puro (Y) es lo mejor. @guinew666 si no te gusta no lo escuches y no comentes tan simple como eso.

@guinew666 You are just a confirming example who cannot delve into the Symphonic Multi-Instrument Magnificence of such bands. Better stick away to simplistic 1-dimensional bands like Behemoth.

Hmmm Eppur Si Muove is the best imo, everything is just perfect. The first two are amazing as well, so not gonna argue with you too much :) Can't wait for the new album though!

Will definitely check out Grimm... But am I alone with my opinion that Awaking the Centuries is BY FAR better than Eppur Si Muove? Never got the hang of the latter, whereas the former is full of some of the best and catchiest melodies and arrangements I've ever heard from a group this numerous. Thank you for this masterpiece of an album, Misters Nasseri, Miller and Rachmaninov and Nostradamus! :)
