The band played doom/death metal, "influenced by the Peaceville scene", at the very beginning. With the change in style, came also the name change.
They "wanted to have a colour in the band [name], because all [their] heroes had colours in their names, like Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath". And the Goblin, "came about because [they] were seriously into (JRR Tolkien's) The Lord of the Rings".
Pete O'Malley left the band in 2004 to pursue a career in art.
