"Death Walks Behind You" is the second studio album by British rock band Atomic Rooster, released in September 1970. It marked their first album to receive a US release, albeit with different sleeve artwork. This album is often considered the quintessential Atomic Rooster record, featuring the 'classic' lineup of Vincent Crane, John Du Cann, and Paul Hammond.
Critically acclaimed and commercially successful, "Death Walks Behind You" is a classic of the progressive rock genre. It includes the hit single "Tomorrow Night," which reached No. 11 on the UK charts and remains one of the band's most popular songs. The album cover features William Blake's monotype titled "Nebuchadnezzar," contributing to its atmospheric and iconic imagery.
Band photos for the album were taken at Churchfield Road Cemetery in Acton W3 by Richard Lyon, a former actor turned photographer, adding a haunting visual element that complemented the album's themes and music.
