Horror Song of the Day: Buio Omega by Goblin


Today’s horror song of the day comes from the 1979 film, Beyond The Darkness.

This film’s soundtrack, courtesy of Goblin, was so acclaimed that it later turned up in several other Italian horror film, usually without anyone bothering to clear it with Goblin ahead of time.

Music Video of the Day: Buio Omega, performed by Goblin Rebirth (2010, dir by ????)


Goblin Rebirth is one of the many different incarnations of the classic Italian prog rock band, Goblin.  Goblin Rebirth is made up of:

Fabio Pignatelli – bass
Agostino Marangolo – drums
Aidan Zammit – keyboards
Giacomo Anselmi – guitars
Danilo Cherni – keyboards

Anyway, here they are performing Buio Omega in concert.  Buio Omega is the main theme of one of my favorite Italian horror films, Beyond the Darkness.  Even if you haven’t seen the film — and, when it comes to movies about wealthy young men who dig up their dead girlfriends and eat hitchhikers, it doesn’t get much better than Beyond the Darkness — the music is wonderfully atmospheric.  You just hear this music and you know that something really odd is about to happen.

Diverti!
