Luck is false, death walks behind you Walks, seems so hard to carry on
Death walks behind you, death walks behind you
Count the nine lives that you had, shout for help Rooster, that it s near
death walks behind you
Death walks behind you, shout for help, hide away from the bad
Death walks behind you, death walks behind you
Death walks behind you, death walks behind you
Seems so hard to carry on, death walks behind you Atomic, death walks behind you
death walks behind you.
Seems so hard to carry on, to forget what is done
Death walks behind you, start to scream
To forget what is done, death walks behind you, you ll be so afraid tonight
That it s near, start to scream
that it s near
Shout for help, hide away from the bad
that it s near
that it s near
Shout for help, death walks behind you
Death walks behind you, luck is false Rooster, switch the light
death walks behind you.

You know people criticise the internet Facebook etc but one good thing is this sharing of musical memories that you yourself have almost forgotten. It's a great way of using modern tech to look back on some amazing moments in our lives. The music unlocks memories of situations and events that we have all forgotten.
The strangest is that it had to be a 17 years old French guy who makes you re-discover YOUR classics ^^
You should be ashamed England & America =P
(and keep listening heavy music !)
Long live the 60s and 70s greatness . Artists like Atomic Rooster , Blue Cheer , Sir Lord Baltimore , Iron Butterfly , Randy Holden , Bang , Dust , UFO , Bloodrock , Captain Beyond , Hawkwind , Pentagram , Spooky Tooth ...etc. were and still are key influence on later Heavy Metal and horror scene and themes . Of course Black Sabbath were the definite milestone , yet others were , too . Thanks for the video my friend ..

The cover is William Blake's representation of Nebuchadnezzar, who couldn't read the writing on the wall. Because he turned from the living God to worship things of wood and stone, God gave him over to seven years of what was probably chronic untreated schizophrenia. "When his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. He was driven away from people and given the mind of a wild animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle." Daniel 5:20,21a. An early seventies prog metal classic for sure.
I would add Leaf Hound, Birth Control, Warhorse, Head Machine, The Gun, Necromandus, Quatermass, Night Sun, Lucifer's Friend, Kadavar... They are all more or less in the same rock/prog vibe than Atomic Rooster, but if one wants to discover prog music thoroughly I highly recommend Progarchives !
