Blue Oyster Cult - Celebrate their 50th Anniversary!!!

Blue oyster Cult are back with a very nice live release

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the upcoming release from Blue Oyster Cult, '50th Anniversary Live - First Night' on the 8th of December, 2023. The legendary American Hard Rock band Blue Oyster Cult celebrated their 50th anniversary with a very special set of three Sold Out!!! shows in a row in September 2022 at Sony Hall in NYC. For this historic career milestone, each show featured the band playing in its entirety one of their first three albums 'Blue Oyster Cult', 'Tyranny and Mutation' and 'Secret Treaties', followed by a set of deep cuts and classics from their other albums. Founding member Albert Bouchard was a special guest on all three nights, which was a unique treat for all the fans.

The band played for nearly three hours and delivered an amazing set performing the S/T debut album back to back and the second set also included some fans’ favorite and deep cuts along with some of their best known songs. Blue Oyster Cult were truly on fire, and it was an unforgettable night. All in, they played for nearly three hours for the delight of the fans that filled the venue. The Frontiers label will release each night as a special individual package. For over five decades, Blue Oyster Cult has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard Rock Worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. Indeed, the Long Island, New York based band is revered within the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal scene for its pioneering work. They occupy a unique place in Rock history, because it’s one of very few Hard Rock / Heavy Metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim and commercial success.

 
The band is often cited as a major influence by other acts such as Metallica, and Blue Oyster Cult was listed in VH1’s countdown of the greatest Hard Rock bands of all time. 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. Blue Oyster Cult'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'. Other notable Blue Oyster Cult 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 Blue Oyster Cult’s original core duo of Vocalist / Lead Guitarist - Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser and Vocalist / Rhythm Guitarist Eric Bloom is complemented by Richie Castellano - Guitar / Keyboards, and the longtime rhythm section of Danny Miranda - Bass and Jules Radino - Drums. They’re proud of Blue Oyster Cult’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 that monopolizes the radio airwaves and best seller charts. Blue Oyster Cult has always maintained a relentless touring schedule and an album of new material, 'The Symbol Remains' which was released on October the 9th, 2020, to rave reviews.
