The Serpent’s Egg isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. It’s natural for Dead Can Dance to take a stab at ‘The Host Of Seraphim’ considering her long-professed love for Gustav Holst. On The Serpent’s Egg album, Dead Can Dance have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. If you love Dead Can Dance as much as I do, then Dead Can Dance The Serpent’s Egg is the CD for you!
When listening to Orbis De Ignis, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. In Severance Dead Can Dance spins a tale you want to hear to the end. In The Writing On My Father’s Hand you won’t find any flashy solos. In The Kingdom Of The Blind The One-Eyed Are Kings great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.|titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Song Of Sophia - Okay, I just talked about depth. Still going through The Serpent’s Egg and coming to appreciate Echolalia more and more with every listen. Put Mother Tongue into car stereo for your highway driving This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create.
