Behind the Devil's Back is the fourth studio album by British post-hardcore band Fightstar. The album was released on October 16, 2015 via the band's own record label - distributed by Warner Music. The album was funded via a Pledge Music campaign, which launched in July 2015.

September 2014 saw the band's Facebook profile updated with a new default picture and cover photo; both of which featured Fightstar artwork within an 'X' shape. On 25 September, the band's official website was updated to include a countdown timer accompanied by text that simply read "News..." The timer ended on 13 October 2014; with the announcement of a ten-year anniversary show at London's Forum. A statement from the band followed: "It has been 10 years since the inception of this band and we wanted to celebrate it with a bang. We want to thank you all for your love and support over the past ten years and we can't wait to commemorate this milestone with you guys." The concert sold out in minutes, and due to demand the band added a second concert at O2 Academy Brixton. They also announced additional dates in Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester.

On 23 February 2015 at Birmingham's Digbeth Institute, Charlie Simpson announced that Fightstar were working on new music due to be released later that year.

On 22 July 2015, it was announced Fightstar would be releasing their fourth studio album, entitled 'Behind the Devil's Back' on 16 October 2015, with a string of UK dates to follow in support of the release. A limited edition box set version of the album is available from the band's official store. This contains a signed hard copy of the album, a T-shirt with album artwork, unique and numbered art print, a Fightstar shot glass and Fightstar own brand hot sauce, all contained in a glossy box.

On 26 July 2015, Daniel P Carter of the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show premiered 'Animal', the first new song released by the band in 5 years.

On 12 May 2015 Simpson revealed via Instagram that the band had returned to the studio to work on new material with long-time producer Carl Bown and consequently began using Twitter to provide updates on the progress of the album's recording process. Bassist Dan Haigh took to Twitter and Instagram on 20 August to begin posting brief video clips of recording sessions for 'Behind the Devil's Back' in the build-up to the album's release.
