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. 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 band consists of 16 musicians. All their songs are written by vocalist and guitarist Asis Nasseri.

I think "Eppur Si Muove" is awesome, I love it, but I think is not for those that want more metal, I find that is not balanced as symphonic metal, it's more classical and medieval music, I feel is metallic symphonic/classical/medieval music and not symphonic metal (It's not a complain because I love how it is, I just trying to describe it). So if you want balanced symphonic metal, with metal being strong (like Therion), their early works are a best choice.

As for me it is And Thou Shalt Trust The Seer. Some might argue it's Awaking the Centuries. If anyone calls Eppur Si Muove the best symphonic album, I advise you to check whether he has his ears in place. Tales of Ithiria is somewhat better, but still no comparison to their early works.
