Folkstone - Folk Stone






Style: Folk Metal
Origin: Italy
Lyrics: Folklore
Year: 2008


Folkstone is an Italian folk metal band from Bergamo. The idea was born from Lorenzo, Ferro and Forese, who wanted to bring back to life ancient melodies and put them in a metal key. At the beginning Lorenzo and his tumbler friend Teo started to play Baghèt, the tipical Bergamo’s bagpipe, and after a few month the medieval bagpipe. Folkstone find their inspiration in bands like In Extremo, Corvus Corax, Schelmish and other transalpine medieval bands.

Music and lyrics are all written by Folk Stone, except for Avanti, which was
written by an anonymous Italian author in the 15th century, and Igni Cena, which
is a Schelmish cover.

  1. Hi there,

    I am a budding folk-metal fan. I found much to sink my teeth into here on your blog and I thank you very much for that.

    I was talking to a NYHC legend about folk metal and he warned me that many of them are "racially aware". Having been a skinhead in the 80s he is tuned into that sort of thing (of course he is not ome of those racist skins, just to be clear). I think that the racism angle might go for the Nordic bands and probably not for this Itallian band, but was wondering if you knew much about such leanings of all these folk metal bands. I'd kind of like to avoid ones that are "racially aware". I mean Skrewdriver plays good music, but i cannot in good conscience listen to them. Likewise with any of these bands that might be racist.

    Thanks for your help, already rendered and for any additional help you might provide.
