Death Walks Behind You is the second studio album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. It was their first album to receive US release, albeit in a different sleeve. It is commonly thought of as the archetypal Atomic Rooster album, recorded by the 'classic' line-up of Vincent Crane, John Du Cann and Paul Hammond. It is certainly, critically and commercially, their most successful album and often hailed as a classic of the progressive rock genre. It also produced the hit single "Tomorrow Night" (UK #12), which became one of the band's best-known songs. The album's cover features the William Blake painting Nebuchadnezzar [1].
The title track was covered on record in 1992 by UK Gothic metal band Paradise Lost.
