Goblin is an Italian progressive rock band renowned for their distinctive film scores, especially in the horror and thriller genres. Originally recording as Cherry Five, the group rose to fame after collaborating with director Dario Argento on the iconic soundtracks for Profondo Rosso in 1975 and Suspiria in 1977, establishing their signature eerie and atmospheric style. After adopting the name Goblin, they released influential albums such as Roller and contributed to several other film scores, including George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead. Over the years, Goblin’s lineup has changed frequently, with members continuing to explore new projects under various related names like Goblin Rebirth and Claudio Simonetti's Goblin. Their music, characterized by ominous melodies and complex arrangements, remains especially popular with collectors and fans in countries like Germany and Japan. Following a period of relative quiet, Goblin returned to the stage with successful live performances in Europe and North America in the late 2000s and early 2010s, reaffirming their lasting impact on both progressive rock and film music.
