BLUE ÖYSTER CULT

Emerging from the psychedelic era of music with other hard rock groups such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin The Blue Oyster Cult Originally formed as "Soft White Underbelly" in the year of 1968 they created a new sound that resembled the hard rock craze in the early 70's. To analyse the lineup: Eric Bloom and Donald Roeser at vocals and lead guitar and Eric Bloom also at keyboard. Alan lanier playing rhythm guitar and keyboard and the brothers Bouchard, Joseph playing bass and backing vocals and Albert playing drums. B.O.C amplified the classic hard rock theme being created at the time and this debut album really gave the group a good start. Their former band under the alias "Soft White Underbelly" created 60's demos that would be implemented later on the Columbia remaster of the album.
