Danube Horrors
3 more days to go till the first concert in 32 years of legendary italian prog-rock band GOBLIN, best known for their congenial collaboration with horror film master Dario Argento. The concert is a co-production with the reknown Donaufestival in Krems, a small town situated 70 km from Vienna.
Goblin will perform live in an a church from the 13. century. The band will play in the original line-up of 1975 when they released their first record “Profondo Rosso” – except for keyboardist and composer Claudio Simonetti. They will perform a selection of their classic songs and soundtracks - partly with a video component featuring excerpts of Argento’s movies – along with material from their 2005 album “Back to the Goblin” and new, yet unreleased pieces.
Afterwards, in the small hall of the festivals main venue, ZOMBIE ZOMBIE and TURZI (solo performance as Turzi Electronic Experience), both heavily influenced by Goblin’s groundbreaking work, pick-up Goblin’s legacy to catapult it into todays club culture. Meanwhile, more psychedelic madness - allthough of a slightly different type, drawing more from punk rock and free-form noise – will be curtesy of BLACK DICE and the BUTTHOLE SURFERS in the main hall.
A definite must go for all fans ob Goblin, the films of Dario Argento and George A. Romero, and the wide realm that opens up between weird psychedelica, prog-rock, italo disco and horror OST’s.
