Folkstone are one of the most influential folk-rock/folk-metal bands in Italy. Folkstone were born towards the end of 2004 with a project that combines hard rock with instruments that tradition usually requires in an acoustic guise. Therefore breaking every pattern, the main instruments of the scene become bagpipes, bombards, harp, cittern, bouzouki, hurdy-gurdy and flutes, creating the evocative atmosphere that has always distinguished the band and the feeling with the audience.
