Legendary rock band BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is back in action with their latest album, 'Ghost Stories.' The album features a collection of lost gems from the band's archives, some of which have never been heard. Fans of the band are in for a real treat as 'Ghost Stories' showcases songs from as far back as 1978 to 2016.
The album is a result of a collaboration with Frontiers Music Srl, who helped BLUE ÖYSTER CULT bring these long-forgotten songs to life. Thanks to the band's original audio engineer, George Geranios, who preserved the songs on analog tape and modern AI and musical magic, these songs were de-mixed, re-mixed, and produced by Steve Schenck and Richie Castellano. The two explain the album's unique process and journey in detail HERE.
'So Supernatural,' the album's single, has already been released, and fans eagerly anticipate the band's upcoming 2024 shows, where they'll showcase some of the songs from 'Ghost Stories.' The album also features the only recorded performance of their concert classic "Kick Out the Jams" (MC5 cover).
The album was completed by Richie Castellano and the remaining original members, Eric Bloom and Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser. All these original lineup members on 'Ghost Stories' create a musical journey that spans decades and has surprises galore.
As BLUE ÖYSTER CULT embraces its 'classic rock' status, the hype for this album is sky-high. With a legacy that spans over five decades, the band continues to be a powerhouse in the classic rock scene. The partnership with Frontiers Music Srl and the vision of Serafino Perugino add an extra layer of excitement to the release of 'Ghost Stories.'
As the band bids farewell to their recording career, they do so with a bang, leaving fans with a remarkable musical odyssey that will surely leave a mark on rock history. With 'Ghost Stories,' BLUE ÖYSTER CULT proves that they are still rocking hard, and they're not done yet.
