Blood of the Snake is the fifth solo album by Derek Sherinian released in 2006. It features contributions from Billy Idol, Zakk Wylde, Slash, John Petrucci of Dream Theater, Brian Tichy, Simon Phillips, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony Franklin and Steve Lukather.
Derek is mainly Instrumental with most of the songs, but on ocasion someone lends there voice. there are two songs on this album with vocals. "Man with No Name" feat. Zakk Wylde and the cover "In the Summertime" with vocals by billy idol of all people with slash on guitar. both great songs, in the summertime sounding almost like a demo jam with everyone having some fun, keeping the vibe light. Man with no name being the harder of the two but that shouldn't be suprising with Zakk. Zakk appers on two more tracks "blood on the snake" and "the Monsoon" as you can tell i'm a Zakk Wylde fan. overall the album has a good mix of hard rock, jazz fusion and Progressive rock with plenty of instrumental mastery from all parties involved. One of his stronger albums.
