"Blood of the Snake" is the 5th solo album by keyboardist Derek Sherinian. It features contributions from Billy Idol, Zakk Wylde, Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash, John Petrucci of Dream Theater, and Brian Tichy, in addition to return engagements with Simon Phillips, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony Franklin and Steve Lukather. A video for a cover version of Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime" featuring Sherinian, Idol, Slash, Franklin, and Tichy was released in conjunction with the album. In a nod to Idol, the bass drum is painted with the script "Derek Sherinian and The Rebellious Yellers!". Sherinian also worked with duduk master Djivan Gasparyan on the song "Prelude To Battle" on the release, written for his great grandmother who fought the Turks in the Armenian genocide.
