From Wikipedia:
Haggard was founded in 1991 and originally played death metal. They changed their musical style after their first demo tape, Introduction in 1992, becoming a band with symphonic melodies and classical instruments but folk themes. 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. In 2004, they released their third album Eppur Si Muove which is about the life of Italian scholar, Galileo Galilei, sentenced to house arrest for heresy by the Church for supporting Copernicus' claim that the Earth revolved around the sun.
Just before their album Awaking The Centuries was released, the group had its highest number of musicians at 21. All their songs are written by vocalist and guitarist, Asis Nasseri.

Has Haggard ever toured in the USA?
Don't know...I know they have a Latin American tour lined up for this fall. Many of these bands tend to tour latin and South America over the US/North America because there's a much larger fan base. Look at a band like Therion, who plays to thousands of people in Mexico City and cities in South America, but gets shuffled off to small clubs in the US.
