As in the worst musical nightmares, Goblin (after the sudden dissolution of the ‘BackToTheGoblin’ line-up) splitted into two bands.
Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante (the two founders of Goblin) and Maurizio Guarini, together with Bruno Previtali (bass) and Titta Tani (drums) formed (New) Goblin and recorded an album that will feature six new songs and six new versions of classical Goblin’s songs.(New) Goblins have also recorded their concert played at the Alpheus in Rome the 18th of February 2011. The shooting was supervised by Luigi Pastore who directed the thriller ‘Come una crisalide’ and the video clips ‘live in studio’ of Profondo rosso and Roller. The concert will be released soon on DVD and maybe even as a vinyl album.
Surprisingly also Fabio Pignatelli and Agostino Marangolo alongside with Aidan Zammit (keyboards, formerly with Goblin in the 2009 mini-tour), Danilo Cherni (keyboards) and guitar virtuoso Giacomo Anselmi, formed Goblin World now renamed Goblin Rebirth. Their concert (the only one until now) at the Crossroads in Rome will be published on DVD this autumn.Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante (the two founders of Goblin) and Maurizio Guarini, together with Bruno Previtali (bass) and Titta Tani (drums) formed (New) Goblin and recorded an album that will feature six new songs and six new versions of classical Goblin’s songs.(New) Goblins have also recorded their concert played at the Alpheus in Rome the 18th of February 2011.

The coexistence between the two bands promises to be difficult and without a mutual agreement neither group can use the name Goblin as they would like to do.
Please mutual respect and no Goblin Wars!
Hi
ReplyDeleteDo you know if the Crossroads show was ever released as a DVD or CD? Been trying to find on the internet for a while, with no results I'm afraid...
The Goblin Rebirth live DVD has not yet been published. In theory everything is ready, but after two years we are still waiting!!
