49	!! Tropes associated with this band include:
50
51	* BigRedDevil: The [[https://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/130/cover_4846131922019_r.jpg cover]] of ''Roller'', which the band has since adopted as its unofficial logo, depicts a red devil figure with horns and wings playing a violin. Presumably, the band members chose the cover art because it tied in to the horror theme of much of their material, or perhaps they simply thought it [[RuleOfCool looked cool]].
52	* {{Instrumentals}}: ''Roller'' is an entirely instrumental album, often coming across as a soundtrack to a film that was never made.
53	* IHaveManyNames: So far, they've gone under the names of Oliver, Cherry Five, Goblin, Back to the Goblin, New Goblin, Goblin Rebirth, the Goblin Keys, The Goblins and Claudio Simonetti's Goblin.
54	* PopStarComposer: As mentioned above, they are best known for their film soundtracks, particularly in the horror genre. Former frontman Claudio Simonetti has also composed his own share of film scores, including ''Film/{{Conquest}}'', ''Film/CutAndRun'', and ''Film/{{Demons}}''.
55	* ShoutOut: ''Roller'' includes a track titled "ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}".
56	* TheTheTitleConfusion: They were inexplicably credited as "The Goblins" on at least ''three'' films, namely ''Suspiria'', ''Dawn of the Dead'', and ''Beyond the Darkness''.
