Artist Bio
For over four decades, Blue Öyster Cult has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. Indeed, the Long Island, NY-?based band is revered within the hard rock and heavy metal scene for its pioneering work. Blue Öyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because its one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success. The band is often cited as a major influence by other acts such as Metallica, and BÖC was listed in VH1s countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time. Upon the release of BÖCs 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. BÖCs canon includes three stone-?cold classic songs that will waft through the cosmos long after the sun has burned out: The truly haunting "(Dont Fear) The Reaper" from 1976s Agents of Fortune, the pummeling "Godzilla" from 1977s Spectres and the hypnotically melodic "Burnin for You" from1981s Fire of Unknown Origin. Other notable BÖC songs include "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll," "Then Came the Last Days of May," "I Love the Night," "In Thee,""Veteran of the Psychic Wars," "Dominance and Submission," "Astronomy," "Black Blade" and "Shooting Shark." The intense creative vision of BÖCs original core duo of vocalist/lead guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Eric Bloom are complemented by Richie Castellano on guitar and keyboards, and the longtime rhythm section of bass guitarist Kasim Sulton, and drummer Jules Radino. We realized were a classic rock band. Thats what we are, thats what we do best, thats what we know. The band members are proud of BÖCs classic sound, and pleased the band is creating vibrant work for disenfranchised music lovers who dont like the homogenized, prefabricated pop or sound-?alike, formulaic rap-?metal, which monopolizes the radio airwaves and best-?seller charts. BÖC has always maintained a relentless touring schedule that brings new songs and classics to original fans and, as Bloom puts it, "teen-?agers with green hair.
