'''''Awaking the Gods: Live in Mexico''''' is the first live album by the German [[symphonic metal]] band [[Haggard (band)|Haggard]]. It was released on 24 September 2001 by [[Drakkar Entertainment]]. It was filmed at Teatro Ferrocarrilero in Mexico City during the tour for the ''[[Awaking the Centuries]]'' album. The DVD contains footage from [[Teotihuacan]] between the songs.
Due to technical issues the DVD audio is from the studio albums ''[[Awaking the Centuries]]'' and ''[[And Thou Shalt Trust... the Seer]]''.
== Reception ==
The album received a positive review by the German ''Sonic Seducer'' magazine, calling it a unique fusion of [[Medieval music|Medieval]], [[Baroque music|Baroque]] and [[Classical music]] with traditional metal. The musical skills of the band members were also stressed out in this review.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.sonic-seducer.de/index.php/component/option,com_reviews/anzeige,5685/func,detail/ |title=Haggard – Live in Mexico |magazine=Sonic Seducer |first=Michael |last=Zöller |year=2001 |issue=9 |language=German |publisher=Thomas Vogel Media |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723123915/http://www.sonic-seducer.de/index.php/component/option%2Ccom_reviews/anzeige%2C5685/func%2Cdetail/ |archivedate=23 July 2011 }}</ref> ''[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]'' noted the balanced recording and wrote that the album had authentically caught the concert's atmosphere.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Awaking The Gods – Live In Mexico |language=German |magazine=Rock Hard |issue=173 |year=2001 |url=http://www.rockhard.de/megazine/reviewarchiv/review-anzeigen/12136-awaking-the-gods-live-in-mexico.html}}</ref>
