Goblin is an influential Italian progressive rock band that was formed in the 1970s. Originally known as Oliver, they changed their name to Cherry Five and released one self-titled album before evolving into Goblin. The band gained recognition when Dario Argento enlisted them to score his film "Profondo Rosso". After several successful albums, Goblin announced its dissolution in 2009 but later reformed as New Goblin. Over the years, the lineup has changed with various members joining and leaving the band.

Notable members of Goblin include Fabio Pignatelli on bass, Claudio Simonetti and Maurizio Guarini on keyboards, Massimo Morante on guitars, Carlo Pennisi, Roberto Puleo, and Marco Rinalduzzi also on guitars. Percussionists Walter Martino, Agostino Marangolo, Derek Wilson have contributed to their unique sound. Mauro Lusini provided vocals for one of their albums while Antonio Marangolo played winds and keyboards for many of their releases.

Goblin's discography includes iconic soundtracks such as "Suspiria", "Zombi", and "Phenomena". Their music blends elements of prog rock with electronic sounds creating a dark and atmospheric ambiance that perfectly complements horror films. With their innovative approach to composition and instrumentation, Goblin has left a lasting impact on both the world of film scores and progressive rock music.

The first Goblin’s Greatest Hits volume, released in mid-2020 and filled with the unprecedented masterpieces that made them famous worldwide as the masters of movie soundtrack makers, is now followed by this second chapter that wisely covers the second part of the band’s career. 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.

This second volume is in fact even more diverse and eclectic than its predecessor, as it goes from classic- era Goblin sounds (Yell) to funk-rock (Funky Top), from romantic atmospheres (St. Helens) to the 80’s electronic vibrations (Sleepwalking, Tenebre, La Chiesa). To make this release even more special, the last two tracks on side B are presented for the first time as a new edit (La Chiesa) and a new suite (Nonhosonno – Killer On The Train – Arpeggio-End Title, from the comeback reunion of “Nonhosonno”, the film directed by Dario Argento in 2001).
