Elvenking is an Italian folk metal band from Sacile. They have released one demo and twelve full-length studio albums.
Elvenking has declared itself to be a band highly influenced by folk music and dances from all over the world, drawing inspiration from different genres such as metal, folk, hard rock, pop, prog, and classical music. The vocal style is usually clean singing, though harsh vocals were provided by former guitarist Jarpen who left the band in 2005. [5]
Guitarist Aydan was quoted in an interview in 2001 as stating, "Well, our influences come from all the metal scene and obviously from a lot of folk music and dances from all over the world. For what about the metal part, from power to thrash or death metal, we listen all! To name you a few bands Skyclad, Blind Guardian, In Flames, Soilwork, Helloween, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, Annihilator, Cradle Of Filth, Dark Tranquillity..." [6]
