The Profile

Italian folk metal band from Bergamo (active 2004–2019), known for blending traditional instruments like bagpipes, flutes, bombarde, rauschpfeife and Celtic harp with electric guitars and drums, and Italian-language lyrics. Key albums include Folkstone, Damnati ad metalla, Il confine, Oltre... l'abisso and Ossidiana.

Reviews highlight energetic folk/metal fusions, prominent bagpipes and Celtic harp, Italian lyrics touching social and political themes, and frequent live appeal. Damnati ad metalla is repeatedly cited as a high point.

Five DeBaser reviews chart Folkstone’s path from the tavern-stomping debut to the refined punch of Il confine, the praised Oltre... l’abisso, and the exploratory Ossidiana. Critics highlight the Italian lyrics, bagpipes, and Celtic harp over heavy riffs, with Damnati ad metalla repeatedly crowned as their peak. Overall tone: energetic, detailed, and warmly approving.

Notable Quotes

❝ Oltre …l’abisso is an album decidedly superior to the already successful Il Confine, and slightly inferior to Damnati ad Metalla, the band’s undisputed masterpiece.
❝ This rough mountain band offers a unique music, driven by bagpipes and enriched with percussion, flutes, bombards, and harps... All without abandoning the good old guitar and drums.
❝ An album that celebrates change.
❝ In conclusion, ESTIQAATSI thinks, however, that the Folkstone group is the best group of all Longobard barbarian music groups.
