BLUE ÖYSTER CULT and Frontiers Music Srl continue their release of archival treasures from the band’s vault with the December 4 release of “Live At Rock Of Ages Festival 2016“. BÖC played, as they always do, an inspired set on the second day of the Rock Of Ages festival 2016 in Seebronn, Germany.
One of the band’s few appearances on German soil in the past few years, the set is now available for fans to enjoy. The band ripped through an extremely solid and memorable performance that kicks off with “This Ain’t The Summer Of Love” and closes with their evergreen hit “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”.
In between, BÖC delivers with hot updated takes on gems like “Burnin’ For You”, “Golden Age Of Leather”, “Then Came The Last Days Of May” and “Godzilla”.
Strong n’ rocking recommended stuff.

Frontiers Music continue with their welcomed reissue of BLUE OYSTER CULT‘s catalog, now it’s time for “A Long Day’s Night“. Originally released in 2002, “A Long Day’s Night” is now being reissued on CD/DVD, Blu-ray, and Vinyl. The audio appearing on all formats has been completely restored and remastered to achieve a stunning new listening experience.
Recorded live at the Navy Pier / Skyline Stage in Chicago, Blue Öyster Cult’s “A Long Day’s Night” celebrates, at the time, 30+ years of incredible music from the band. This release truly highlights the band’s phenomenal career up until that point in time.
The memorable show is titled “A Long Day’s Night” because it took place during the summer solstice. Guitarist/vocalists Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma, keyboardist/guitarist Allen Lanier, and their bandmates regale a revved-up crowd with Cult classics like “Burnin’ for You,” “Last Days of May,” “Godzilla,” and, of course, “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper.”

”The Symbol Remains” is the upcoming fifteenth studio album by BLUE OYSTER CULT, scheduled to be released on October 9, 2020 by Frontier Records. It is the band’s first studio album since 2001, marking their longest gap between records with 19 years.
The album showcases a band who hasn’t been slowed by the time passed, sounding better than ever. ”The Symbol Remains” is one of the band’s most spirited, diverse, and inspired releases to date.
As the old saying goes, ‘good things come to those who wait’ and the 14 new songs on display here embody that. The band’s fans will be delighted given that they have delivered an extremely elaborated album which ultimately sounds like a band looking back at their storied catalogue and giving the fans a bit of everything they’ve ever loved about BÖC, while simultaneously continuing to evolve.
Highly Recommended
