goblin -lrb- also back to the goblin , new goblin , goblin rebirth , the goblin keys and claudio simonetti 's goblin -rrb- is an italian progressive rock band known for their soundtrack work .
they frequently collaborate with dario argento , most notably creating soundtracks for `` profondo rosso '' in 1975 and `` suspiria '' in 1977 .
cd re-releases of their soundtracks have performed well , especially in germany and japan .
goblin returned with a series of live concerts in europe in 2009 and in north america in 2013 .
initially named cherry five , their early work spawned one eponymous progressive rock record , and they were then called in to compose the soundtrack for `` profondo rosso '' .
the band changed their name to goblin , rewriting most of the score , originally written by giorgio gaslini including the famous main theme .
the 1975 soundtrack album was a huge hit .
after a reshuffle in their line-up , and they put out an instrumental progressive rock album `` roller '' , before working with argento again for 1977 's `` suspiria '' .
other film soundtracks and a concept album -lrb- `` il fantastico viaggio del bagarozzo mark '' -rrb- followed , then the score for the european version of george a. romero 's 1978 `` dawn of the dead '' .
tracks 1 , 2 and 7 from the european version are also in the american version of the album .
despite their success , membership continued to be a revolving door , and the band also struggled to maintain their credibility .
the remaining members continued to work on further soundtracks , and there was a partial reunification for argento 's `` tenebrae '' -lrb- 1982 -rrb- -lrb- although each member of the band was credited separately , not as goblin -rrb- .
the last collaboration with the director took place in 2000 , with the film `` non ho sonno '' -lrb- `` sleepless '' -rrb- .
