Goblin

Goblin made horror sound like prog rock. Pulsing basslines, eerie Moog synthesiser, tolling bells, whispered voices and driving drums gave Dario Argento's films their nightmarish energy, starting with Profondo Rosso in 1975.

That soundtrack became a huge hit in Italy, and Roller showed what they could do on their own. Suspiria, with its chiming celesta, chanted vocals and relentless rhythms, remains one of the scariest scores ever made, and their music for Dawn of the Dead gave George A. Romero's zombies a strangely funky pulse. Former members have kept the music alive in several spin-off line-ups.
