Dancing on the Head of the Serpent is the fifth studio album, and sixth album overall, from Swedish hard rock band Jerusalem. Unlike their first four studio albums, it was recorded only in English, although there are two different versions. The original version was released in Scandinavia in 1987 on JM Records. In 1988, Refuge Records released a re-recorded and remixed version in the US, with slightly different artwork. This was the first Jerusalem album to be released on CD.
The general lyrical theme of the album is "war against Satan", but songs such as "Still" focus on forgiveness and restoration.[1]
Album Cover Controversy
Several record stores in Scandinavia banned it because of its album cover[1] (painted by Rolf Jansson of Norway).
