Here's some info and the full tracklisting.
BLACK WIDOW RECORDS in collaboration with ROCK IMPRESSIONS Is proud to present:
THE DARK SIDE OF THE CULT - A TRIBUTE TO BLUE ÖYSTER CULT 2CD
BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is one of the greatest dark rock bands of all time. Considered among the fathers of heavy metal, over the years they have developed a sound that embraces many musical genres, with imaginative lyrics that have drawn from poetry - famous the collaboration with Patti Smith - sci-fi, horror and cyber punk literature. They have been cited as an influence by very different artists, as Metallica, Iron Maiden, Mike Watt, Big Country and plenty others, and honored by writers and directors like Stephen King, Joanne Rowling Peter Jackson, just to name a few. The Dark Side of the Cult isn’t a tribute in a “classic way”, because it aims to celebrate the dark prog and gothic side of the American band. It comes out on double CD with strictly black and white graphics as a mention of the three first albums. Many artists and bands took part in the project and we’re very proud we had Albert Bouchard, founder drummer and author of many of BOC best songs, joining us as well. Each of them has put a sincere enthusiasm into this project and that’s what we really loved in the making of The Dark Side of the Cult.
