About this album

Tyranny And Mutation is a ferocious early statement from Blue Öyster Cult, sharpening hard rock with psychedelic menace and heavy metal bite. Released in 1973, the band’s second album followed their self-titled debut and deepened the dark, riff-led style that helped set them apart from many of their arena-rock peers. Working with producer Murray Krugman and Sandy Pearlman, the group folded together hooks, sinister imagery and muscular guitar interplay on songs such as The Red & The Black and Hot Rails to Hell. Widely regarded as one of the key records in their catalogue, it helped define the band’s eerie, intelligent take on heavy rock.

Genre: Pop & Rock
