Italian progressive instrumentalists Goblin Rebirth have inked a new deal with Relapse Records. The band is an incarnation of the group Goblin from the 1970's who created soundtracks for various classic horro films.
The new band formed in 2010 and started with a live repertoire of Goblin hits and some unusual songs from more obscure Goblin soundtracks. Relapse will be releasing the group's debut album which was mixed and produced by Fabio Pignatelli, and recorded in Rome at Greta's Sound, Zamusic Studios and Cherni Studio.
The group made the following comments:
"It was clear to us from the start that we wanted to do an album that in some way evolved from the original Goblin sound but also took a new direction reflecting the personalities of all the band members. The pieces all fell together to make up a story that loosely describes the destruction and rebirth of a strange creature. This is itself a loose metaphor referring to the band history."
