"Blue Oyster Cult," probably best known for their hit singles "Don't Fear The Reaper," "Godzilla" and "Burning For You" the group is still at it in 2009 after getting their start in 1967 in New York. They are recognized as a pioneering group on a heavy metal music scene, both for their hard-edged musical assaults and their use of the science fiction and occult imagery and ideas in their compositions. "Blue Oyster Cult" has sold over 14 million albums all around the world.
The group originally used the name "Soft White Underbelly" which was also a name that they would use occasionally during the 1970's and 1980's when they played smaller gigs around the country. At the time, Sandy Pearlman was their manager, and due to their association with Pearlman, the group was able to land record contracts with Elektra and Columbia records.
The group got their big break when Pearlman was able to get them hooked up with Columbia records. Clive Davis liked what he heard and he signed the band to his label, and the group went on to enjoy commercial success and continues to work today, although many personnel changes have taken place since the original line-up.
