Albert Bouchard - Surrealist Albert Bouchard

Albert Bouchard is best known as one of the founding members of Blue Öyster Cult. The original band sold millions of albums for

Columbia Records with such classic songs as “Don’t Fear the Reaper” and the #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart “

Burning For You”. As a songwriter, he wrote many BÖC songs including the very popular “Astronomy” (which was covered by

Metallica on their 1998’s release Garage Inc) and the live

staple “Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll”, which he

also sang lead vocals. Albert's famous cowbell on “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” was the basis of the popular SNL skit with

Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken, which has gained over

31 million views and spawned the phrase “More Cowbell”.

Surrealist is Albert’s second solo record originally released independently in 2017 and never before distributed. With the success of the Imaginos Trilogy Deko Entertainment is releasing both of albert’s earlier solo albums with the forthcoming next installment of Imaginos IV slated for late 2026.
