I already wrote about Claudio Simonetti, composer of many horror soundtracks and keyboard player of legendary Italian band Goblin. Simonetti worked with many horror legends like Dario Argento, Lamberto Bava, Ruggero Deodato, Umberto Lenzi and Claudio´s main band Goblin has many current incarnations so this one made a compilation of greatest horror soundtrack themes and songs that made our black hearts weep tears of bloody joy while listening. This one is not long, it has nine songs and I just can not decide which one works better for me here.

For sure, Suspiria, Zombi, Tenebre, Profondo Rosso are top, but my personal favorite is Phenomena, this is top of all my favorite Italian horror soundtracks, being such contagious and song that has it all, great guitar work, epic main body of melody and just takes you to some other place and time just somehow feeling the darkness and feeling the almost unpenetrable horror and creepyiness through almost joyful melodies that Claudio´s music provides in many themes. I also am in awe how this music borders somewhere between epic joy and darkness mixing those two into one superb song structure thus creating a whirlwind of emotion and able to make goosebumps on your skin.
