Blue Öyster Cult Announces Two Releases In 2020

Exciting Times Ahead

Blue Öyster Cult announced that they are currently working on a new material. It will serve as their follow-up to the 2001 “Curse of the Hidden Mirror.” Frontman Eric Bloom said, “The band is in the middle of creating new songs and recording them in between tour dates and, as they evolve in rehearsals and sound checks, we hope to be able to drop a song or two into our live shows soon.”

He continued, “Everyone is involved in the writing and arrangement of the new material, and we’re all excited about the prospect of a new BOC album to be released in 2020.”

They will also have two releases in 2020 – the live album “Hard Rock Live Cleveland 2014” and a remastered version of “Cult Classic.”

In a press release, Bloom said: “I’m most excited about the formats, i.e. a triple vinyl, DVD, CD, Blu-ray of the 2014 concert from the Hard Rock Cleveland 2014. A collector’s delight.” 

Back in July, lead guitarist Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser revealed, “The current band is great and has never been recorded other than the live concerts, so we feel now is the time for new songs to be written and recorded. About half of the songs for the new record exist and the rest will be finished during the process.”
