The Profile

Haggard is a German symphonic/medieval metal ensemble founded by Asis Nasseri in 1989. The group blends classical instrumentation and choral writing with extreme metal elements and multilingual lyrics across concept-driven releases.

Large ensemble led by Asis Nasseri; fuses strings, choirs, piano, woodwinds, and metal guitars with growl and soprano vocals; concept albums include themes like Galileo Galilei and a fantasy saga (Ithiria); lyrics span German, English, Latin, and Italian.

The reviews celebrate Haggard’s fusion of classical orchestration and extreme metal, with choirs, strings, and growls in multiple languages. Eppur si muove is praised for its balance and Galileo-themed concept. Awaking the Centuries blends medieval atmospheres, Rachmaninov homage, and powerful riffs. Tales of Ithiria shifts to a fantasy narrative, mixing narration, sweeping arrangements, and a Mecano cover.
