Satan and Rainbows

<p>A synth-drenched fantasia, a poppy sellout, a....good album?? With some of the best songs the Blue Öyster Cult ever recorded?! And also two of the worst? What a time. Check your shuriken at the door because we're...

<p>Minus one Bouchard and plus electronic drums galore, the 9th BÖC album begins a period of declining fortunes for the band. But is it that bad? Is it actually bad at all? We certainly don't think so. Listen to The...

<p>MTV! Rejected songs from a cartoon movie for perverts! Joan Crawford! All this and even more if you can believe it. Join us as we discuss the mega-successful Fire of Unknown Origin (1981).</p> <p >Facebook/Instagram...

<p>A new decade, a new producer, and a new direction (sort of). Join us as we examine the start of a very dramatic decade for the Blue Öyster Cult and their dark, hard-rocking seventh album.</p> <p >Facebook/Instagram...

<p>Last album of the '70s. First album with a new producer. Last chance to capitalize on the momentum from their hit single before it disappeared completely? Well, it's a little more complicated than that, but perhaps...

<p >How do you follow up a platinum commercial breakthrough? Do you sell out and go even more commercial? Or do you double-down on the eccentricism that attracted fans in the first place? Well...yes. Join us as we break...

<p>After briefly discussing the first (and somewhat premature in our opinion) live album from BÖC, we discuss their platinum breakthrough smash Agents of Fortune. Yes, it's the album with "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" on it...

<p>We're back to discuss BÖC's third album Secret Treaties (1974). It's a lot of things: definitely their first gold LP, probably their weirdest, and possibly their most thematically consistent. Inarguably it is a...

<p>Our series continues with an in-depth look at the Cult's sophomore release. Informed by the band's energetic live act at the time, Tyranny and Mutation certainly strengthens their credentials as early heavy metal...

<p >We're back! I'll be joined this season by my good friend Dalton to talk in-depth about the career of the utterly inimitable Blue Öyster Cult! For our premiere episode we discuss our connection to the band before...

<p>Is the Shield truly Invincible? Was this album worth the wait? Does our old discography ranking from 2018 hold up now? We will answer all of these questions and more as we revisit the newest release by the first band...

<p>Recorded in November of 2023, it's the final episode of our Black Sabbath season. We cover Forbidden (1995), give final thoughts about this "lost" era of the band, and close out with one of our patented discography...

<p>Geezer, Geoff, and Tony Iommi are still here, Dio's gone, Tony Martin is back, and then...wait, who's Bobby? How can a good Sabbath album get made with all this chaos? Well...pretty easily, actually. We're talking...

<p >Dio's back!....Yay? Wait, the album is HOW long?! Oh fine. Here's Dehumanizer (1992).</p> <p >Facebook/Instagram: @satanandrainbows</p> <p >Twitter: @SatanRainbowPod</p> <p >Email: Contact@satanandrainbows.com</p>...

<p>Okay, hear me out...is this the most underrated Black Sabbath album ever? I think I make a pretty good case as a break down the Norse-ish concept-ish album TYR (1990).</p> <p >Facebook/Instagram...
