Check this out: Per Blabbermouth.net: JUDAS PRIEST's ROB HALFORD Guests On New Single From BAD PENNY "This song just grabbed me," Halford said. "It's mysterious, dark, and sexy." New York-based metal singer Militia Vox, who has been dubbed one of the greatest female rock vocalists of her generation, rounds out a powerhouse duet. JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford is the latest legend to sign on to front a single from the rock supergroup BAD PENNY, which features former QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS bassist Danny Miranda, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT drummer Jules Radino and guitar virtuoso/songwriter Mike Holtzman. BAD PENNY's previous releases feature former JOURNEY lead singer Steve Augeri and QUEENSRŸCHE vocalist Todd La Torre. "Danny and I came up with the music and melody for this one," said Holtzman. "We knew we had something special… these exotic world-music elements, the inner dialogue, the heavy groove…it just needed extraordinary voices to bring it home. We are thrilled Rob and Militia agreed to sing it. They absolutely killed it." BAD PENNY plans to release the single "Push Comes To Shove" (featuring Rob Halford and Militia Vox) for pre-order on September 20. #badpenny #duet #robhalford #militiavox #metalgod #metalgoddess #pushcomestoshove #newmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CTbiGcHswfr/?utm_medium=tumblr

DEEP PURPLE with Special Guest BLUE OYSTER CULT - FEB 10, 2022 HARD ROCK LIVE, HOLLYWOOD FLORIDA

Deep Purple has sold more than 100 million albums and filled global arenas for decades. In 2016, Deep Purple was given the Legend Award at the 2008 World Music Awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

With a body of work spanning seven decades, Deep Purple has helped pioneer and define the rock genre whilst progressively moving into new areas to keep their sound fresh and attract new fans to the legions who have remained loyal since the band’s inception.

Deep Purple has recorded iconic rock classics, including “Speed King” and “Into the Fire” from 1970’s “In Rock;” “Fireball” from the 1971 album with the same name - “Fireball;” “Smoke on the Water” and “Highway Star” from 1972’s “Machine Head;” and “Woman from Tokyo” from 1973’s “Who Do We Think We Are.”

Known as one of the hardest working bands ever, Deep Purple has released six studio albums since 1996. Deep Purple’s latest album “Whoosh!” was released last year to great acclaim as one of the best albums of 2020. “Whoosh!” is the band’s third straight No.1 album in Germany and reached No. 4 in the UK.

Deep Purple is formed of Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Steve Morse and Don Airey.

For more than four decades, Blue Öyster Cult has been thrilling fans of rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs.

Upon the release of Blue Öyster Cult's self-titled debut album in 1972, the band was praised for its catchy, heavy music and lyrics that could be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous, often all in the same song. Blue Öyster Cult's catalog includes three stone cold classic songs: The truly haunting "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" from 1976's “Agents of Fortune,” the pummeling "Godzilla" from 1977's “Spectres” and the hypnotically melodic "Burnin' for You" from1981's “Fire of Unknown Origin.”

Other notable Blue Öyster Cult songs include "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll," "Then Came the Last Days of May," "I Love the Night," "In Thee," "Veteran of the Psychic Wars," "Dominance and Submission," "Astronomy," "Black Blade" and "Shooting Shark." Their most recent album “Symbol Remains” was released in October 2020 to rave reviews.

The intense creative vision of Blue Öyster Cult's original core duo of vocalist/lead guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Eric Bloom are complemented by Richie Castellano on guitar and keyboards, and the longtime rhythm section of bass guitarist Danny Miranda and drummer Jules Radino.

Album Review: Blue Oyster Cult - 40th Anniversary Agents Of Fortune

Release Date: 6 Mar 2020

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of their widely celebrated album ‘Agents of Fortune’, Blue Öyster Cult performed the seminal album in its glorious entirety at an exclusive concert for the Audience Music Network on Monday April 18, 2016 at Red Studios in Hollywood, CA in front a lucky little audience of invited guests. The performance was recorded by an army of cameramen for a TV special, which is now released on CD/DVD, Blu-Ray, and Vinyl. 

The intense creative vision of BÖC’s original core duo of vocalist and lead guitarist Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser, and vocalist and rhythm guitarist Eric Bloom are complemented by Richie Castellano on guitar and keyboards, and the longtime rhythm section comprised of bass guitarist Kasim Sulton, and drummer Jules Radino. As a special guest, founding member Albert Bouchard appears on guitar and vocals on selected tracks, which was a real treat for longtime fans of the band.

Blue Öyster Cult's fourth album, "Agents Of Fortune" was originally released in 1976 and went on to achieve platinum sales status on the strength of songs such as "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," which was easily one of the band's biggest hits. Tinged with a more commercial sound that preserves the band's heavy metal base, while exploring new and varied musical forms, "Agents of Fortune” was the band’s breakthrough album. Nothing they had produced previously prepared listeners for the level of sophistication the group found on "Agents of Fortune" and it's both an essential document of the band and an iconic release of '70s rock in general.

Blue Oyster Cult are old hands at this game. They could have followed the example of so many other bands from the same era, and elected to go with a smaller band as opening act. Instead, the vintage New Yorkers chose The Temperance Movement as openers. It’s hard to think of a bigger UK act, at the moment, squeezing their normal headline set into 45 minutes, but having them on the bill no doubt brought in some extra ticket sales and gave the fans real value for money.

This time last year the “Beast from the East” nearly scuppered the much anticipated headline tour from The Temperance Movement. We were knee deep in snow and fighting over a loaf of bread; now it’s sitting outside having a drink weather.

It’s a year since their astounding third album, ‘A Deeper Cut’, was released, and The Temperance Movement are showing no signs of being ring rusty. It’s an old favourite that opens the show in the form of ‘Only Friend’, and from the opening bars it’s clear that there are a lot of movers and shakers in the crowd.

Phil Campbell is as exciting to watch as ever, a performer who truly does get lost in the music. Arguably the best vocalist that the UK has produced in some time, he grows in stature with each song and is clearly having a ball in his home town. With a tight time schedule, chit-chat is kept to a minimum. When he pauses to talk, it’s to point out how much of a thrill it is to play in the venue where he sat upstairs watching The Black Crowes.

The setlist is only a handful of songs, but they further highlight how cohesive a unit The Temperance Movement has become. A fact not lost on most, especially since the band almost self destructed after sophomore album ‘White Bear’. The latter half of the set finds the band going for the throat on ‘Ain’t No Telling’, ‘Take It Back’ and an ass-shaking ‘Built-in Forgetter’, as well as bringing it back down for a gorgeous run through of ‘A Deeper Cut’.

They leave the stage to a rapturous reception, and one can’t help but wonder how long will it be before a headline date at this very venue is announced.

I was curious to see how many people would move away from the front after The Temperance Movement finished their set, and I’m happy to report that there was very little in the way of an exodus. By the time the theme music from ‘Game Of Thrones’ began, and Blue Oyster Cult could be made out through the shadows, there seemed to be more people edging their way towards the front. Plenty of die-hard fans ready to make themselves heard.

Contrary to popular belief Blue Oyster Cult don’t just have a handful of songs in their repertoire. Yes, you will hear ‘Burnin’ For You’, ‘Godzilla’ and the other one, but the guys from Long Island like to change things up a little, and they have an enviable back catalogue to call upon.

After ‘Dr Music’ and ‘Before The Kiss, a Redcap’, lead vocalist and guitarist Eric Bloom mentions that the band likes to mix the setlist up a little. He talks about fans attending each show on the tour, and jokes that they change it up for “those four people with too much time on their hands”. So for those four guys, the band breaks into the tour premiere of ‘Golden Age Of Leather’, a song that Bloom describes as about “beer, music, motorcycles and partying” before adding “so raise your beer!”. This is then followed by some gorgeous harmonies as the band lines up for the ode to beer… “Raise your can of beer on high, and seal your fate forever, our best years have passed us by, the golden age of leather…”

With the criminally underrated Buck Dharma on lead guitar (as well as co-lead vocals), ably assisted by Bloom and Richie Castellano (who steps out from behind his keyboards to strap on a guitar), this is a guitar heavy night. Dharma is a pleasure to watch. Ever smiling, he pauses in between songs to lift his dark glasses and soak in the atmosphere. Bloom is no slouch either; wielding a gorgeous black Gibson SG he helps form a formidable front line. Throw in the joker in the pack that is bassist Danny Miranda, add drummer Jules Radino, and you have Blue Oyster Cult circa 2019. Still bringing it, every night, forty-seven years after their debut album.

Bloom continues to play to the die-hards, with a teasing question: “what song would you rather hear? Shooting Shark or Harvest Moon?”, before joking that they would play “what we want”. They then launch into the former, with Bloom behind the keyboards. If you were one of the “four guys” following the band on this tour, then you were getting your money’s worth. The latter half of the set of course features the heavy hitters, ‘Bucks Boogie’, ‘Godzilla’, ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’ as well as the stonking versions of ‘Dancing In The Ruins’ and ‘Hot Rails To Hell’ that appeared during the encore. Castellano takes the lead vocals on ‘Hot Rails To Hell’ and the guy is clearly having a blast unleashed from behind his keyboards.

Blue Oyster Cult celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their debut album in 2022. I bet they will still be touring then, and still knocking them dead.
