Folk Metal

Folk metal is a musical genre that combines traditional folk music elements with heavy metal. It typically features classical folk instruments like flutes, violins, accordions, or bagpipes alongside electric guitars, bass, and drums. The genre often draws inspiration from cultural folklore, mythology, and history, creating a blend of energetic, powerful metal with melodies and themes rooted in regional traditions. Folk metal conveys a sense of cultural pride and storytelling, resulting in a dynamic and diverse sound that appeals to fans of both folk music and metal's intensity.
