Contents

Using the same recording approach as One Day, each band member recorded their respective studio parts within a strict 24-hour timeframe. The album is the first to feature recording contributions from guitarist Josh Zucker since Glass Boys (2014).

Background and recording

The album was primarily written and recorded over the course of 2022 and 2023, with sessions taking place at various studios across Toronto and London. The initial guitar tracks were laid down in May 2022 at Candle Studios in Toronto, and engineered by Alex Gamble. During the same month, drums were recorded at both Palace Studios in Toronto and Fuzzbrain Studios in London, with additional drum recordings taking place at the Total Refreshment Centre in London. Gamble also oversaw these sessions.

In October 2022, Sandy Miranda recorded the bass parts at Palmer Stone Studios in Toronto. By July 2022, guitarist Josh Zucker completed his recordings at Candle Studios. The lead vocals, primarily performed by Damian Abraham, were recorded by Dylan Frankland at Foran Sound/Wychwood Sounds in Toronto in November 2023, and was mastered in March 2024.

The album was announced in June 2024, about 18 months after their previous album, One Day . [2]

Blue Öyster Cult is an American hard rock band formed on Long Island, New York, in the hamlet of Stony Brook in 1967. The band has sold 25 million records worldwide, including 7 million in the United States. The band's fusion of hard rock with psychedelia, and penchant for occult, fantastical and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, had a major influence on heavy metal music. They developed a cult following and, while achieving mainstream hits like "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" (1976) and "Burnin' for You" (1981), their commercial success was limited. Both songs, and others such as "Godzilla" (1977), remain classic rock radio staples. The band were early adopters of the music video format, and their videos received heavy rotation on MTV in its early period.
