Итальянская группа Goad образовалась в начале 90-х. Ветераны современного европейского Прогрессива, большие поклонники творчества Edgar-a Allan-a Poe и H.P. Lovecraft-а, они с самого начала исполнять музыку, исполненную драматических и откровенно мрачных тонов, чаще всего используя для текстов песен стихи Эдгара По. Все это делает Goad схожим с французским ансамблем Halloween, исключая факт, что поют итальянцы исключительно на английском языке, в отличие от французов, которые после первых двух своих программ перешли к лирике на родном языке.
Было бы очень долгим делом исследовать каждый из альбомов Goad, но, к счастью, эта команда придерживается одного стиля на протяжении всей своей карьеры, по крайней мере, в целом. Помимо Halloween (кликай!), хорошими примерами для сравнения можно считать Van Der Graaf Generator периода 1975-’78, а также Genesis образца 1970-'71 годов, причем, далеко не только из-за того, что манера пения лидера группы Mauricio Rossi напоминает то Peter-a Hammill-а, то раннего Peter-а Gabriel-я (когда его голос был более низким и хрипловатым, нежели в дальнейшем).
Творчество группы весьма стабильно, преобладают очень хорошие и отличные альбомы, лучшими из которых является, на мой взгляд, “Spoon River Anthology Songs” и "The Wood", выпущенные в середине прошлой декады. Тогда как обе программы, изданные до этой «симпатичной парочки», “Il Minosse” и “Dark Virgin” , несколько слабее прочих, особенно первый их них (в целом, тем не менее, на «4» балла он вполне тянет). Большинство альбомов Goad издано известнейшим итальянским лэйблом Black Widow (Черная Вдова в переводе), который как раз и ориентирован на мрачный Sympho-Art-Rock и Doom Metal. Кладезь для любителей подобной музыки.
