Atomic Rooster-"Death Walks Behind You" (1970)

One of the most formidable progressive rock formations in history has been Atomic Rooster, although its status is at the level of a cult band overshadowed by the greats of the genre that emerged during that era and had much more continuity than this.
Formed by Vicent Crane in 1969 like his ex-band Crazy World Arthur Brown, for this he recruits incipient drummer Carl Palmer, bassist Nick Graham and guitar John Du Cann and after having played with Deep Purple they get a contract with the B&C Records label with which they record their first album "Atomic Rooster", a superb work of progressive hard rock.
But after this magnificent work, desertions began and Carl Palmer left the group to found together with Keith Emerson and Greg Lake the mythical EL&P and for his part Graham did the same to found the band Skin Alley.
With a new line-up where besides Crane and Cann were the drummer Paul Hammond, they record their best album "Death Walks Behind You", considered one of the top works of progressive rock.
With a bombastic and far-fetched sound and where the virtuosity of its components together with the force and forcefulness leave us one of the germinal albums of progressive hard.
