STILL RULING ROCK RADIO AND CONCERT STAGES EVERYWHERE!
Upon the release of Blue Oyster Cult's self-titled debut album in 1972, the band was praised for its catchy-yet-heavy music and lyrics that could be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous, often all in the same song. BOC's canon includes three stone-cold classic songs that will waft through the cosmos long after the sun has burned out: The truly haunting "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", from 1976's "Agents of Fortune," the pummeling "Godzilla" from 1977's "Spectres" and the hypnotically melodic "Burnin' for You" from 1981's "Fire of Unknown Origin." We won't even get into "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll" or "Then Came the Last Days of May" or the many other album songs that resonate so loudly with their worldwide legion of fans who seek their pioneering brand of intelligent hard rock.
BOC occupy a unique place in rock history as being one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success. They are often cited by other acts such as Metallica as a major influence, and they were listed in VH1's countdown of the "greatest hard rock bands of all time.
The intense creative vision of BOC's original core duo of vocalist/lead guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Eric Bloom are complemented by Richie Castellano on guitar & keys, and the longtime rhythm section of bass guitarist Kasim Sulton & drummer Jules Radino.
"We realized we're a 'classic rock' band. That's what we are, that's what we do best, that's what we know. The band members are proud of BOC's classic sound, and pleased the band is creating vibrant work for disenfranchised music lovers who don't like the homogenized, prefabricated pop or sound-alike, formulaic rap-metal, which monopolizes the radio airwaves and bestseller charts." - Expect to hear the hits and the deep album cuts.
