Formed From The ashesofThe Crazy Worldof ArthurBROWN ,ATOMIC ROOSTER are equally obscure these daysif no more so, and equally unfairly at that. Fact is, Death Walks Behind You - generally considered far and Theband 's best album - is somethingofA minor "forgotten" hard rock gem, not nearly inTheSame league asBLACK SABBATH , DEEP PURPLE , or Led Zeppelin but definitely notable contenders thereafter,If Only ForA letter while. By The TimeofDeath Walks Behind You ,Theband 'sSecond Album , Paul Hammond had replaced Carl PalmerOn drums and John Du Cann joined The trio as singer/guitarist, while group leader Vincent Crane addedHIS distinctive keyboards and mostofThe songwriting while conjuring bassSoundsFromHIS keyboards as well. The album gets off To A rip roaring start withThe should've-been-classic title track, with its wonderfully ominous intro and rock solid riffs/grooves thereafter, including several exciting surges and evenA singable chorus. Elsewhere, The funky, poppier " TOMORROWnight " (actuallyA significant UK hit) andThe chugging mid-tempo stomper "ICan 't Take No More" are comparatively straightforward, butTheband are really at their best On strong jam-heavy songs such as "VUG" (an instrumental), "7 Streets," and "SleepingFOR Years," where their unique chemistry, particularly Du Cann and Crane's guitar-organ duels (A laDEEP PURPLE ), is at its most effective. This band Can really groove when they're upThe tempo, enough so that their average songwriting, at times overly plodding tempos, and barely adequate vocalsCan be overlooked. Crane's keyboards are jazzier and more colorful than The soulful moody vibe he brought To ArthurBROWN , You Cann packs some serious guitar heat (though again I wouldn't put him inTheSame league as Iommi, Blackmore, or Page), and Hammond impressively holdsHIS own. "Nobody Else" is The only ballad OnThe album, etcA sad prettyOne it is, although it too picks up steam in its mid-section (great guitar solo), whileThe 8-minute instrumental "Gershatzer" isThe album's most indulgent/meandering track (yep, that'sThe One withThe organ and drum solos), no mean feat whenYou calculate thatThe average lengthof each song here is aboutFIVE andA half minutes. STILL, On most of these songsTheband earnsThe rightTo stretch out, and their jam-based interplay is often genuinely interesting and exciting. ATOMIC ROOSTER had some obvious weaknesses and there are A few lulls along The way, butTheband stirred their own singular stew with their gothic overtones and progressive tendencies, and Death Walks Behind You stands tall when held up against most other hard rock (" HEAVY metal" would be pushing it, although Crane's dark lyrics fitThe part) albumsFrom 1970. Alas, The band switchedToA lessHEAVY direction soon afterwards, and Crane andHIS rotating castof musicians inATOMIC ROOSTER remained also-rans FORThe restof their career. Crane later ( STRANGELY ) joined Dexy's Midnight Runners before sadly committing suicide On Valentine'sDay in 1989. (sfloman.com)
