Satan and Rainbows

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 the band thought so at the time. It would certainly explain a lot about Mirrors. Also we talk about the band's second live album and their Marvel comics cameo! Join us!

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 down Blue Öyster Cult's oft-overlooked fifth album Spectres!

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 but there's a lot more going on here. But don't worry, we're going to definitively and correctly break the whole thing down and you are going to agree with it all!

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 creative triumph for Eric Bloom (while ironically also serving as a creative low point for Buck Dharma). This is a big one, folks. Let's get into it!    Facebook/Instagram: @satanandrainbows Email: [email protected] Financial Support: https://ko-fi.com/thenatezone Special thanks to our announcer Sasha Aleksandra!

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 legends, but is it as artistically successful as their debut?

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 diving into their origins, early history, and (eventually) their self-titled debut album. We're on the pod but we ain't no pea!  Facebook/Instagram: @satanandrainbows Email: [email protected] Financial Support: https://ko-fi.com/thenatezone Special thanks to our announcer Sasha Aleksandra!

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 we ever covered on the show. Enjoy!

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.
