Goblin was an Italian progressive rock band who were known for their soundtracks on Dario Argento films (e.g. Deep Red of 1975 a.k.a. Profondo Rosso and Suspiria of 1977).
They were initially named Cherry Five and were influenced by Genesis and King Crimson. Their early work spawned one progressive rock record named after the band, until they were called in as replacements for composer Giorgio Gaslini, who had left the film Profondo Rosso after a conflict with director Dario Argento. They changed their name to Goblin and rewrote most of the score, including the famous main theme. The film, and the soundtrack album, were huge hits.
A reshuffle in their line-up followed, and then an instrumental progressive rock album Roller, before they got the chance to work with Argento again for Suspiria. The score’s nerve-jangling experimental sounds and bizarre vocals have since become legendary. Other film soundtracks and a concept album (Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark) followed, then the score for the European version of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978).
Despite their success, more members of the band left. The line-up was altered again, but this time they struggled to maintain their credibility. What was left of the band continued to work on further soundtracks, but there was a partial reunification for Argento’s Tenebrae (1982) (although they were credited separately, not as Goblin).
In 2000, the group reformed to score the new Dario Argento thriller entitled Nonhosonno (Sleepless). After over 22 years of absence, their return was spectacular. The soundtrack was a great success and showed the group could still compose after such a long time apart, much to the fans delight.

Yeah, it's awesome. every time I listen to the main theme, it reminds me of Carpenter's Halloween score. I think it must've had an influence on him.

Una de las características mas olvidadas del prog, es la de generar una atmósfera de terror en quien la escuche, ojalá Goblin sea lo que busco.

It was an absolute privilege to see them live at Supersonic. The 70's stuff was astounding, and even the newer stuff was pretty damn good too. Wish I could get down to London and see them again tonight!
