As well as being one of the most important Italian rock bands, Goblin
are, alongside the likes of Ennio Morricone, the creators of some of
the finest horror film soundtracks ever made. Throughout their career,
which spans from 1972 to the present day, Goblin have soundtracked
around twenty films, but it is their rescoring of Profondo Rosso, Suspiria and Dawn of the Dead
that really forms the basis of their legendary reputation. Ultimately
dealing in progressive rock, through their hugely celebrated
soundtracks the band explored electronica, tribal rhythms and
experimental orchestration, as well as the notorious distorted vocals
and terrifying experimental sounds which so perfectly enhanced the
on-screen action. 

Enjoying a huge resurgence of interest in
recent years, particularly amongst the alternative rock, goth and
horror film communities, Goblin have reissued many of their classic
soundtracks and DVDs of the films they worked on, with Giovanni
Aloisio's Goblin – La Musica La Paura Il Fenomeno published in 2005.
