Goblin
Goblin got the job because somebody else walked away. Dario Argento had commissioned the score for Profondo Rosso from the jazz composer Giorgio Gaslini, the collaboration broke down, and a young Roman progressive rock band was called in at short notice. The record that came out of it sold in numbers nobody in Italian film music had seen, and fixed the sound of the genre for a decade: a bass figure that will not let go, an electric harpsichord, a children's melody played too slowly. Suspiria followed in 1977, then Dawn of the Dead for George Romero.
Zombi (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
Goblin's score for George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, released for the first time under the film's original title: New York Comic Con 20th anniversary edition on black vinyl with new artwork, limited to 750 copies.

Il Ras del Quartiere
On Il ras del quartiere, Goblin reroute their horror‑prog DNA into neon‑lit funk and sleek electronics, rescuing a cult 1983 Vanzina film from VHS purgatory with a newly remixed, visually lavish edition that finally gives these four pieces their own stage.
The Singles Collection (1975 - 1979)
White vinyl edition. Gatefold cover with extensive liner notes. A prog band that topped the Italian singles chart. A horror soundtrack that sold over a million copies and sat in the charts for a full year. A group of Roman session musicians who, almost by accident, invented a new language for cinema. Goblin's story is full of contradictions, and the 7-inch single - that most concise, most commercial of formats - turns out to be the sharpest lens through which to view them all.

Amore Libero = Free Love
Pearly light blue vinyl edition. 30x30cm insert with extensive liner notes. An origin story, pressed in wax. Before Profondo Rosso. Before Suspiria. Before the name Goblin became synonymous with the sound of Italian horror cinema. There was this.
Amore Libero - Free Love is the first film score ever composed by Fabio Frizzi - written in 1974 when he was just twenty-three, for Pier Ludovico Pavoni's sun-drenched erotic drama of the same name, shot entirely on location in the Seychelles. The film …

L'Altro Inferno / The Other Hell
LP trifold w/insert. Velvet Vinyl. Unreleased Goblin soundtrack for a 80s cult horror b-movie
clear fuchsia coloured vinyl with insert and new liner notes! “The Other Hell” (L’Altro Inferno) is a 1981 horror movie directed by Bruno Mattei (as Stefan Oblowsky) that was explicitly filmed to exploit the success of Dario Argento’s “Inferno”, even if it has little to nothing in common with it. Set in a convent, the film unabashedly mixes demonic possessions, paranormal phenomena, black magic ritual…
Contamination
2025 repress. “Contamination” was released in 1980 as a soundtrack for the eponymous horror/science fiction film, during what probably was the most prolific period in Goblin’s career, even if the band had already been abandoned by guitarist Massimo Morante and keyboardist Claudio Simonetti. Unkonwn by most listeners, it’s a release that deserves more attention, since it shows a wide range of music styles (Jazz, funk, rock, electronic) and once again Goblin’s ability in writing film scores.
Roller
*2025 reissue* Roller was the second record for Goblin, originally released in 1976, just after the successful score of Profondo Rosso, and is one of the very few Goblin records that was not intended to be a soundtrack. By many considered their best effort, in Roller the band develops their dark, hypnotic and totally instrumental sound, but with an always vivacious and dynamic edge. The record also features new members Agostino Marangolo (from Flea) and Massimo Guarini.An undisputed masterpiece…

Suspiria
Special edition of Goblin’s masterpiece, here released on blue iris coloured vinyl with 30x30cm insert and new liner notes. After the incredible debut of “Profondo Rosso” (Deep Red), the soundtrack of the eponymous 1975 film directed by Dario Argento, no one could ever imagine that shortly afterwards Goblin would be able not only to reach its heights but even further refine what the band already delivered in their first record. While “Profondo Rosso” had been partly composed by Giorgio Gaslini,…
Squadra Antimafia (Performed by Girodivite)
In the immense Goblin discography, an enormous void has always been represented by the original motion picture soundtrack of Squadra Antimafia, a score which we have tried to find, since many years, but that is apparently lost. A 1978 movie full of absolute cult icons among which Tomas Milian, Bombolo, Enzo Cannavale, Eli Wallach, Massimo Vanni directed by Bruno Corbucci: to this incredible list of stars to add Goblin is exciting. So, a while ago, following the initiative of Fabio Capuzzo, veter…

Shock
"Schock" was released in 1977 and directed by horror maestro Mario Bava, released while Italian horror cinema was at its peak, following the international success of Dario Argento with Deep Red and Suspiria. While Goblin soundtracked the work of Argento, the choice for the music of Schock fell on Libra, (distant relatives of Goblin , thanks to drummer Walter Martino and guitarist Carlo Pennisi). In ‘77 Libra, after a brief dalliance with legendary soul/funk label Motown, had practically split up…

At the time speaking Cinevox released an album with 8 cues, included two songs singed by Asha Puthli that bring the listener into late 70s American discotheques.

Cherry Five
*Clear-Velvet Vinyl edition* A reissue of Cherry Five, the first and only homonymous work of the band, made by Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante, Fabio Pignatelli, drummer Carlo Bordini and singer Tony Tartarini. The album was recorded in 1974 but published only in 1976, a year before the official birth of Goblin and the worldwide success of "Profondo Rosso". In the original vinyl Simonetti and Morante were included as authors of the songs but not as performers. The record in question is a rari…

* Red Vinyl. Housed in gatefold sleeve. Deluxe Edition * Wampyr is the title of the Italian version of George A. Romero’s movie directed in 1976, "Martin", curated by Dario Argento and edited by Piero Bozza. A very different adaptation from the original film, which was then 'overshadowed' by the success of "Dawn of the Dead / Zombi" and that only in recent years has been appropriately re-evaluated.For the Italian version of “Martin”, as well as for “Dawn of the Dead / Zombi”, the music of Gobli…
Gamma
* 180gr. solid white vinyl edition * “Gamma” is a dramatic Italian TV show from 1975, one of the most important of those made in the same decade: a mini-series that combines mystery and science fiction, in a story that raises interesting ethical questions of a scientific and medical nature.The “Gamma” soundtrack, composed and directed by Enrico Simonetti, is a perfect combination of classical, jazz and pop music, with forays into prog and funk-rock territories. The main theme 7-inch released at …
Virus (Apocalipsis Canibal)
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* Quartet Records, in collaboration with Cinevox Records, presents the premiere release of the soundtrack to Bruno Mattei’s 1980 iconic zombie film Virus (aka Virus, L’inferno Dei Morti Viventi, aka Apocalipsis Caníbal, aka Hell Of The Living Dead), which compiles together both library music and an original score composed by Gianni Dell’Orso.
Virus largely takes place in Papua New Guinea, as a group of mercenaries are sent to resolve an imminent zombie outbreak. Th…
Patrick
*2022 stock* “Patrick” is an Australian thriller/horror movie made in 1978; at the beginning of the following year, Goblin were asked by the Italian distributor of the film, De Laurentis, to write a new soundtrack – originally composed by an Australian musician called… Brian May! – for the Italian movie market. The result is a mix of old songs chosen added by the Cinevox Record label and new selections, strongly influenced by Alan Parsons Project.
Volo
*2022 stock* "One of the last Goblin-related releases to arrive on CD thanks to the Cinevox label, the notorious `Volo' from 1982 is now reissued. The Eighties was not a banner year for much of anything prog-related, and with bass player Fabio Pignatelli the sole founding member here, he's joined by a mix of related ex-Goblin members and session players, and together they delivered a sleek set of pop/rock/funk pieces very much in the manner of the popular commercial styles of the time. While it'…

These are The Church (Main Theme); Prelude 24 (From Well Tempered Clavier); The Possession, and The Church Revisited, all four of which have also been included on the Keith Emerson "At the Movies" 3CD set. Emerson's contributions add up to about 13 minutes of music all in all.The rest of the music on this soundtrack is by other artists, including seve…
Non Ho Sonno (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
"Non ho sonno isn’t exactly a return to the glory days of Suspiria and Roller, but it’s very good, and is worthy of purchase before most of the 1980’s soundtracks. Though Goblin managed to hold on to the 1970’s sound even on most of their 1980’s work, this album sounds much more like the 1980’s than the 1970’s or 1990’s, especially the guitar. As far as opening themes go, “Non Ho Sonno” is good. That basically goes for the rest of the music too. It’s all very good, but not as unique and special …
Contamination
*2022 stock* `Contamination' sees Italian progressive and cult soundtrack band Goblin add a refreshing dose of other wordly sci-fi sounds to their usual creeping horror atmospherics, and it makes for a mostly consistent and successful album.This time the soundtrack to a science-fiction film, It's a shame that the album is another mostly unnoticed and somewhat ignored work from the band, because in addition to a number of suspenseful and moody numbers, it contains the classic Goblin track `Quiet …
La Via Della Droga - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
*2022 stock* When Cinevox began reissuing the album catalog of Goblin in the late '90s, they also issued some new albums featuring Goblin soundtracks that had never been given a proper release. One of the most interesting albums from this group was La Via Della Droga, the soundtrack to a 1977 Italian crime thriller that chronicled the adventures of an undercover police officer as he infiltrated a European drug ring. The score plays down the horror theatrics that dominated chilling scores like Su…
Amo Non Amo (I Love You I Love You Not)
*2022 stock* This is an official release of the Goblin soundtrack to Amernia Balducci's film Amo Non Amo. The film, staring Jaqueline Bisset and Terrence Stamp, was released in the U.S.A. under the title Together with a soundtrack by Burt Bacharach. For the Italian prog group Goblin, the commission to rescore the Italian version presented a challenge that would produce some of their most unusual work. There was no spine-chilling horror in this human love story, so Goblin penned the title track, …
Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark
*2022 stock* Year 1978. The Italian Prog was beginning to lose ground. They were times of punk and new wave. Area, in that same year, published a disc from the title rather explanatory: Gli Dèi se ne vanno, Gli arrabbiati restano: The Gods go away, The angry remain. The "Gods", at the time, could be understood as the champions of progressive and experimental rock. The "angry" ones, instead, were the "irreducible" protesters who, shortly thereafter, would have given life to other seasons of under…
Squadra Antigangsters (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
*2022 stock* The Squadra Antigangsters soundtrack is one of the most unusual and atypical entries in the Goblin canon. Even the most dedicated fans of the group could be excused for not recognizing this album as a Goblin outing: the brash theatrics and heaviness that dominated the likes of Suspiria and Roller are totally absent, replaced by a slick, often jazzy sound that is overtly disco-influenced. The most disco-oriented of the cuts are "The Whip" and "The Sound of Money," both being vocal nu…
Notturno
*2022 stock* Goblin's name is very popular since the year of "Profondo Rosso" (1975), but even those who know them in depth "Notturno" remains an almost completely unknown chapter within their vast discography. The production the music was composed for was edited in two versions, a theatrical one released in 1983 and a television one in seven episodes that was broadcasted only three years later.Led at the time by Fabio Pignatelli (bass), Maurizio Guarini (keyboards) and Antonio Marangolo (saxoph…

La via della droga
** Crystal Clear LP ** The term 'cult', in reference to artistic productions, can have two meanings: the first concerns those works that have become so famous by crossing the barriers of a specific genre of belonging and being part of a global culture, something that 'one can't be unaware of'; the second one refers to what was unjustly neglected at the time of its release, and that has only recently been rediscovered and re-evaluated by a small group of enthusiasts. In this second sense, "La via…

This is an era that is often less considered by music lovers and horror movies fans, but this LP is here also to remind the listener that there’s a lot to be rediscovered. T…
Tenebre
“Tenebre” is the soundtrack of the eponymous film directed by Dario Argento in 1982, which celebrated today its 30th anniversary. Even if released as ‘Simonetti – Pignatelli – Morante’, it’s usually considered an actual Goblin album; as many people know, the ‘real’ Goblin were releasing the LP “Volo” at the same time, and the band’s name and logo could not be used for copyright reasons.
“Tenebre” is the last great collaboration between Argento and Goblin: here Dario Argento moved from full and w…

**Limited Transparent Lime Vinyl** Rustblade presents Claudio Simonetti and his Goblin playing and reinterpreting the score of one of the most famous horror movies of all times to celebrate 40 years of the idolised film Dawn of the Dead directed by George Romero and produced by Dario Argento. The music that accompanies the movie is a mix of prog and electronic rock full of tension and magic tribalism. Piercing guitars, synth orchestration and virtualism give life to thousands of blood thirsty zo…

In the following decade, another artistic partnership, the one between Goblin and Dario Argento, made a second revolution in the same field, in particular in the music of thriller and horror films. A full global scale renewal, which has inspired a myriad of artists in the decade…
Bersaglio altezza uomo
An amazing disco-prog tune with funky basslines, sustained by obsessive clavinet and lead by a dope space moog. A killer track still underrated and unknown today, where members of Goblin play uncredited. The whole story about the relationship between maestro Stelvio Cipriani and Goblin’s Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, Massimo Morante, and Agostino Marangolo is still to be written.
Yell
Inside the vast Goblin archive, "Yell" is perhaps one of the less well-known tracks, that undoubtedly deserves no less attention that the band's most famous works. It's a song composed for bass guitar, percussion and keyboards where an opening reminiscent of "L'alba dei Morti Viventi" is followed by a sudden vibe change, due to the quick entrance of all the other instruments: electric piano chords, a pulsating bass, obscure synths and twisted keyboards still preserve that mix of tension and and …
Squadra Antigangsters
“Squadra Antigangsters” (The Gang that Sold America) is one of over ten films produced between the ‘70s and ’80s in which the actor Tomas Milian plays the role of Police Marshal / Inspector Nico Giraldi, probably the most famous character out of the typical Italian detective films of that period, which were in practice Giallo movies with a strong comedy component. The film is set in the United States, and the soundtrack sounds very American, starting from the first two songs, interpreted …
