The group cut its teeth playing CountryMusic in biker bars before, at Pearlman's urging, their music turned in a harder, psychedelic direction inspired by Music/BlackSabbath. After some trials and tribulations, including the departure of lead singer Les Braunstein and his replacement with acoustic engineer Eric Bloom, the band eventually took the name Blue Öyster Cult [[HeavyMetalUmlaut (with a trope-making umlaut over the O)]] and released their self-titled album under Columbia Records in 1972.

Aware that musical critics were directly comparing both bands, their managements bundled them together on a joint tour, dubbed ''The Black And Blue Tour''. It was never repeated. After the BOC started to record {{Michael Moorcock}} songs, they attracted the label from British fans of ''America's Hawkwind''. Indeed, the live version of the Moorcock-penned ''Veteran of the Psychic Wars'' has an eerie Hawkwind-like quality to it.
