Blue Oyster Cult-Fire Of Unknown Origin (1981)

After the mediocre album "Mirrors", Blue Oyster Cult needed to revive their career, a trajectory that had elevated them to the pantheon of rock music with superb hard rock and psychedelic albums in the first half of the 70s. To this end, they set to work and decided that their next projects would feature Martin Birch, who would take the reins of production and push them back to the level they deserved. "Cultosaurus Erectus", released in 1980, recaptured some of that essence with an impeccable sound where the instrumental passages once again became the band's main attraction. But it was with their next album, "Fire Of Unknown Origin", that they would definitively rise from the ashes with a masterful record, where keyboards take center stage to create a dark yet highly effective atmosphere. Fans received this album with great enthusiasm thanks to tracks like the melodic "Burnin' For You" or "Joan Crawford", the rhythmic "Veteran of Psychic Wars", the frenetic "After Dark", the hard rock "Heavy Metal: The Black and Silver" or the old-school "Sole Survivor", songs with which they returned to the sounds they left behind with the album "Spectre" and expressed their intentions about the path to follow.
