Folk metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music that developed in Europe during the 1990s, a fusion of heavy metal and traditional folk music. This includes the widespread use of folk instruments and, to a lesser extent, traditional singing styles (for example, Dutch Heidevolk, Danish Sylvatica and Spanish Stone of Erech).

Sarcasme – Instinct (2012)

coverFrom the beginning a mysterious atmosphere of progressive rock-tinged folk and Celtic is set. Intro, a beautiful orchestration accompanied by choirs where each member participates with flute bringing folk and Celtic side. Rhythmic passages are followed with more lyrical ones where flute and acoustic guitar lead. The Anglo-Saxon side makes one can think of Solstice or Mostly Autumn. As for comparisons with the French progressive scene, names like Ange or Lazuli can come to our mind.
