The Symbol Remains
''The Symbol Remains'' is the fifteenth studio album by American rock band Blue Öyster Cult, released on October 9, 2020. The title comes from a lyric in the song "Shadow of California" on Blue Öyster Cult's 1983 LP '' The Revölution by Night''. This is the band's first studio release since 2001's '' Curse of the Hidden Mirror'', making it the longest gap between the band's studio albums. It also marks the recording debut by long-time members Jules Radino and Richie Castellano, as well as the first studio album since 1985's ''Club Ninja'' to not feature Allen Lanier, who died in 2013. Background The lack of sales of the band's previous studio album, '' Curse of the Hidden Mirror'' (2001), contributed to the band's disinterest in recording new music. In a strange comment concerning the band's artistry (or lack of it), frontman Eric Bloom noted in 2017 that "it costs money to make a record", and that the time spent producing an album would be better spent touring "than m ...

Curse Of The Hidden Mirror
''Curse of the Hidden Mirror'' is the fourteenth studio album by American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult, released in June 5, 2001. The only single from the record was the poorly received "Pocket". Lackluster sales and poor relations led to the band being dropped by their label, Sanctuary Records; as a result, BÖC did not release another studio album for nearly 20 years, until the release of ''The Symbol Remains'' in 2020. The title of the album is taken from a song contained in the unreleased album by the Stalk-Forrest Group, the band that would later become Blue Öyster Cult, recorded in 1970. John Shirley, an author of cyberpunk science fiction, wrote the lyrics for many songs of the album. The song "Out of the Darkness" was originally featured in the 1992 film ''Bad Channels'', which Blue Öyster Cult recorded the soundtrack for, although the song was not included in the soundtrack album for the movie. "Showtime" was originally written and recorded for ''Cultösaurus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

American science fiction and horror writer John Shirley wrote lyrics to most of the songs on the album. While he is primarily known as an author for his cyberpunk stories, many of the lyrics on this album revolve around early science fiction and mystery motifs. The album's working title was 'Ezekiel's Wheel,' after the Biblical story that some take to reference an early visitation by UFOs. The album's live song "In Thee" was originally featured on ''Mirrors''. "Still Burnin'" is a sequel to the song "Burnin' for You", which appeared on ''Fire of Unknown Origin''. The inspiration for the alternative cover is Morgan Fairchild. This image also appears on the reverse of the insert, and was originally intended to be the front piece as indicat ...
