Check out Gostwind. Pretty nifty Korean heavy/folk metal.

Thanks, added in the info box (as not featured in MS), I think I have added nearly all of the Asian/Oriental folk bands in MS.

Nice list. Pretty much what I look for from times to times =P
Still there are missing some Chinese/Japanese/Korean folk I think.
Some suggestions:
The Nine Treasures
Quest For Blood
Mononofu
Gonin-Ish
Birushanah
Dark Ambition
Zuriaake
