For over four decades, Blue Ãyster Cult has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. Indeed, the Long Island, NY-Ââbased band is revered within the hard rock and heavy metal scene for its pioneering work. Blue Ãyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because itâs 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 BÃC was listed in VH1âs countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.
Upon the release of BÃCâs self-Ââtitled debut album in 1972, the band was praised for its catchy-Ââyet-Ââheavy music and lyrics that could be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous, often all in the same song. BÃCâs canon includes three stone-Ââcold classic songs that will waft through the cosmos long after the sun has burned out: The truly haunting â(Donât Fear) The Reaperâ from 1976âs Agents of Fortune, the pummeling âGodzillaâ from 1977âs Spectres and the hypnotically melodic âBurninâ for Youâ from1981âs Fire of Unknown Origin. Other notable BÃC songs include âCities on Flame with Rock and Roll,â âThen Came the Last Days of May,â âI Love the Night,â âIn Thee,ââVeteran of the Psychic Wars,â âDominance and Submission,â âAstronomy,â âBlack Bladeâ and âShooting Shark.â

The intense creative vision of BÃCâs original core duo of vocalist/lead guitarist Donald âBuck Dharmaâ 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 weâre a âclassic rockâ band. Thatâs what we are, thatâs what we do best, thatâs what we know. The band members are proud of BÃCâs classic sound, and pleased the band is creating vibrant work for disenfranchised music lovers who donât like the homogenized, prefabricated pop or sound-Ââalike, formulaic rap-Ââmetal, which monopolizes the radio airwaves and best-Ââseller charts.
BÃC has always maintained a relentless touring schedule that brings new songs and classics to original fans and, as Bloom puts it, âteen-Ââagers with green hair.
