Heaven Forbid<\/strong> is the thirteenth studio album by American hard rock band Blue \u00d6yster Cult, released in 1998. It was the band’s first studio album with new material in a decade (not counting the 1992 soundtrack to Bad Channels). American science fiction and horror writer John Shirley wrote lyrics to most of the songs on the album. While he his primarily known as an author for his cyberpunk stories, many of the lyrics on this album revolve around early science fiction and mystery motifs. The album’s working title was ‘Ezekiel’s Wheel,’ after the Biblical story that some take to reference an early visitation by UFOs.<\/p>\n

The album’s live song “In Thee”was originally featured on Mirrors. “Still Burnin'”is a sequel to the song “Burnin’ for You”that appeared on Fire of Unknown Origin.<\/p>\n

The inspiration for the alternative cover is Morgan Fairchild. This image also appears on the reverse of the insert, and was originally intended to be the front piece as indicated by advertisements from the period.<\/p>\n

The album was re-released on April 17, 2020 by Frontiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
