Aggressive, dark lyrics…contrasted with bright, energetic, hard-rockin' music…is what defines Atomic Rooster over their 55 year history. They were, strangely, named after the drug-fueled alter-ego of one of the members of the band Rhinoceros.

Formed from the remains of rock band The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, their membership included Emerson, Lake, and Palmer drummer Carl Palmer.
