For nearly four decades, Blue Oyster Cult has been thrilling fans of hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. The Long Island, New York-based band occupies 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 as well as commercial success. Upon the release of their self-titled album in 1972, Blue Oyster Cult was praised for its catchy-yet-heavy music and lyrics that could be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous … often all in the same song. Their hits include 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 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 band is still going strong today maintaining a relentless touring schedule and bringing new songs and classics to original fans. The current line-up features original members Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma along with Richie Castellano, Jules Radino and Rudy Sarzo. Blue Oyster Cult will be making their debut at Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre in October.
