Dead Can Dance: The Serpent's Egg version on vinyl LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in USA and UK in publishing company 4AD on 17. March 2017.

Dead Can Dance's fourth album was written during the band's productive period and was released just four years after their debut. It was also the first album they recorded in their own studio, which, according to Brendan Perry, allowed them to "continue to grow in their own direction". The Serpent's Egg's minimalist yet spectacular album, featuring fan favourites "The Host Of Seraphim" and "Ullyses", is a triumph and perhaps the best example of Brendan and Lisa combining their diametrically opposed influences into a new, almost synesthetic whole.

Album spans genres Rock, Classical, Folk, World, & Country, Electronic, Modern Classical and Ethereal.
