About

Heaven Forbid is the twelfth studio album by American hard rock band Blue Öyster 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 storie, many of the lyrics on this album revolve around early science fiction and mystery motif. The album's working title was 'Ezekiel's Wheel,' after the Biblical story that some take to reference an early visitation by UFO. The album's live song "In Thee" was originally featured on Mirror. "Still Burnin'" is a sequel to the song "Burnin' for You" that appeared on Fire of Unknown Origin. .
