Blue Oyster Cult has been traveling the world, bringing a unique take on rock music everywhere they stop, and this week they’re coming to The Birchmere! The sound they offer wavers between heavy metal, psychedelic rock, occult rock, biker boogie, acid rock, and progressive rock, and they are widely credited for helping pioneer genres such as stoner and speed metal. Aside from all of these genre labels, Blue Oyster Cult loves to play around with their sound and add a bit of their own tongue-in-cheek style. Looking for a night of true entertainment? At this concert, it’s guaranteed.
