Legendary rock band Blue Öyster Cult have released their new studio album Ghost Stories. The 12-track album includes the nine previously-unfinished songs written by the band and three new covers, “We Gotta Get Out of This Place” by The Animals, “Kick Out The Jams” by MC5, and “If I Fell,” by the Beatles.
Along with the new album, Long Island based rock band have also shared their new single “Cherry” accompanied by a lyric video out to stream everywhere. In the single “Cherry,” Blue Öyster Cult embraces their “classic rock” phenomenon status, to build the anticipation of their new album reaching a crescendo. Fans are excited to hear the songs that have become a part of their legacy come to completion and to see how the band’s artistic vision turns into reality.
Work in the studio for the new album Ghost Stories was completed by Richie Castellano along with the remaining original members Eric Bloom and Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser. Both Albert Bouchard and Rick Downey appear on drums with additional overdubs recorded by Joe Bouchard.
All these original lineup members appearing on Ghost Stories have created a musical journey that traverses decades and promises easter eggs for days. The recordings, along with BÖC, were produced by George Geranios, the band’s first audio engineer and a key figure in their prime. They were all initially recorded on reel-to-reel analog tape. He transferred them to digital audio which is when modern AI and magical musical talents meet and the collection of vintage multi-track recordings was de-mixed, re-mixed, and produced by Steve Schenck and Richie Castellano to become Ghost Stories.
