Death Before Musick is the fourth studio album by American rock band Amen. It was released in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2004, and in the United States on May 18, 2004, through eatURmusic and Columbia Records.[7][11] The album continues the hardcore and punk genres of previous albums and draws on heavy metal as influence. Following this album, the band went on a lengthy hiatus. It was later revealed that despite Casey’s death in December 2024, this will not be the final Amen album, and that the follow up album will be released posthumously.

The album spawned the hit single and promotional video for "California's Bleeding." Drummer Luke Johnson, who joined the band around the time of the album's release and tour, appeared with the band in the photo shoot in the album's booklet but did not play on the album.

On April 19, 2010, Death Before Musick was reissued in the United Kingdom by IronBird Records. The reissue features four bonus tracks and a new interview with Casey Chaos.[12]
