Editor's note

Haggard's symphonic metal blends history and drama.

A German band that builds concept albums around Renaissance thinkers and literary themes.

For a good sense of their style, check out 'Hijo De La Luna' or 'The Sleeping Child.' They're both pretty representative of how Haggard handles drama and storytelling.

They carved out a space in symphonic metal with albums like 'Per Aspera Ad Astra,' which takes on the Renaissance figure Giordano Bruno. Songs like 'Awaking The Centuries' show their flair for narrative-driven, layered arrangements that feel more like a story than just a track. It's a sound that's stayed pretty consistent since their 1997 debut 'And Thou Shalt Trust. the Seer.'

Formed in 1991 around Asis Nasseri, they started with a gothic metal sound before moving into more symphonic territory. Albums like 'Eppur Si Muove' in 2004 and 'Tales from the Crypt' in 2009 kept exploring historical and literary themes, even as Nasseri's political views drew some criticism around 2005.

Archive material and source history

Haggard formed in 1991 around Asis Nasseri, starting with a gothic metal sound that drew from bands like Type O Negative and Paradise Lost. Their first album, 'And Thou Shalt Trust... the Seer,' came out in 1997 and set up their approach with big vocals and layered arrangements.

In 2001, they released 'Per Aspera Ad Astra,' a concept album loosely about the Renaissance thinker Giordano Bruno. That record helped build their international reputation in symphonic metal circles. Songs like 'Awaking The Centuries' and 'In a Fullmoon Procession' show their taste for dramatic, narrative-driven compositions.

Nasseri's outspoken political views around 2005 led to some public criticism, but the band kept working with a fairly stable lineup that included guitarist Claudio Quarta and keyboardist Ludwig Maier. They followed up with albums like 'Eppur Si Muove' in 2004 and 'Tales from the Crypt' in 2009, continuing to explore historical and literary themes.
