Suspiria

Suzy Banyon，一个年轻的美国芭蕾舞者，在一个大雨的夜晚来到德国一所有名的芭蕾舞学校，怀疑自己所在的学院实际上是魔女的巢穴，于是一系列的恐怖事件发生了…… 从她抵达校园的一开始目睹一名惊惶失措的女子跑出校园，接着就不断的听闻或目睹一连串怪异与谋杀的事件，整个学校像是被诅咒了一般，最后Suzy决定逃离这所学校所带来无法解释的一切怪异现象。 本片那绝对令人过耳不忘的原声，来自达理奥·阿基多的御用意大利著名乐队GOBLIN所作，被很多欧美媒体评为最恐怖的原声带。用一个最不专业的说法就是《阴风阵阵》的原声的出色之处,应该是在于其抛开电影，作为一张独立唱片已经是很出色的。 by Donald A. Guarisco This stunning soundtrack from 1977 is the favorite of many a Goblin fan because it represents their sound carried to its most powerful and intense extremes. Suspiria was another score for their cinematic alter ego, director Dario Argento, and backed up the story of a girl who enrolls in a German dance academy only to discover it is a cover for a powerful coven of witches. The music is just as scary as the film itself, blending wailing electric guitar, whooping synthesizers, and screaming wordless cries into a spooky, bombastic sound that manages to be terrifying even without the benefit of the film's gruesome images. Suspiria has long been popular with heavy metal fans because it sports a hard-rocking edge equal in intensity to the scariest works of Black Sabbath or King Diamond: the title theme slowly builds a spooky riff on bells, acoustic guitar, and synthesizer until it erupts into a hard-rocking mid-section where nimble synthesizer solos spar with ghostly cries of "Witch! Witch!," and "Sighs" mixes panting, wordless vocals with an array of furious power chords to create an unbearably high level of suspense. Even when the score downplays the gothic rock theatrics on subtler tracks like "Black Forest" and "Blind Concert," the group's members still manage to create an intensely creepy atmosphere. The end result is an album that is guaranteed to please Goblin fans and is highly likely to appeal to fans of gothic and heavy metal sounds. [Collector's note: the 1997 CD reissue of Suspiria sports four bonus tracks, consisting of three alternate version of "Suspiria" and a slightly different version of "Markos."]
