NAME ME SOMEONE THAT IS NOT A PARASITE 5

Goblin are best known for essentially being the house band for Dario Argento’s better films. Goblin married dark ambient and atmospheric swathes with elements of prog and krautrock to brew up a truly menacing stew that suited Argento’s work perfectly. Goblin and Argento’s most successful collaborations are probably Profondo Rosso (1975) and the truly transcendentally amazing Suspiria (1977). Their soundtrack to Zombi (aka Dawn Of The Dead, 1978) aint too shabby either. As well as their soundtrack work Goblin cut straight up records too including the excellent Roller from 1976. This track is taken from the final Argento/Goblin collaboration, 2000’s Non Ho Sonno.  The band’s legacy lives on with the occasional reunion show and via Goblin-accolytes Zombi whose entire output has basically been total Goblin-worship.
