2014, As one of the most talented, respected and in-demand keyboard players in rock, he is known for attacking, confident and instantly recognizable style. A former member of Dream Theater and Black Country Communion, he has also played with Alice Cooper, Kiss, Billy Idol, Yngwie Malmsteen and Black Label Society. BLOOD OF THE SNAKE kicks off with ,,Czar Of Steel" featuring John Petrucci on guitar. Very good song, good opener, some great guitar and keyboard solos towards the end of the song. ,,Man With No Name" has an Ozzy Osbourne feel to it, with Zakk Wylde's vocals. It's one of the more commercial songs on the album. The peak of the album is ,,Phantom Shuffle" with saxophone playing over mad and massive drums and keyboards riffs. ,,Blood Of The Snake" is the song on the album, where things start to change. After some great keyboard solos at the beginning of the album, you'll now hear more and more guitar and Derek is very much in the background.
