Words by Anselm Anderson
Blue Oyster Cult have remastered and re-released their album from 1994, Cult Classic, which is their twelfth studio album to date.
Sounding fresher than ever and with new recordings and updated artwork, this is a must for any diehard fan.
BOC forged a storied history and left a legendary path throughout their five decades. They have sold over 24 million albums worldwide, 7 million in the US alone. Their brand of hard rock and sci-fi influenced lyrics has influenced many bands, including Iron Maiden no less.
The vocals on hits such as Don’t Fear the Reaper and Burning For You sound warm and sincere, while Buck Dharma’s famous stun guitar still strikes the listener on Cities On Flame With Rock ‘N’ Roll”. The song writing also sounds just as relevant today with many songs, especially Godzilla, and the musicianship on Astronomy still shines.
