Serpent本意是大毒蛇、狡猾的人，在习语中一般也被指称为魔鬼、撒旦。Eis&Licht关于这张唱片的介绍页并未提交唱片主题，只是说明了它将是2008年的最佳作品，同时也是一张将俄罗斯黑暗心灵和传统天启民谣结合的佳作。以E&L一贯的平实基调来衡量，这张《黎明前的蛇》（Serpents in the Dawn）也许将是Neutral时隔三年后的又一次值得记取的阴郁吟唱。

E&L的原文：

NEUTRAL "Serpents in the dawn" Eis055 CD

"Serpents in the Dawn", the 2nd album by the Russian band NEUTRAL, is a diamond of apocalyptic folk music. With the old English bands (Nature & Organisation, Current 93) in mind, NEUTRAL presents a great album with an own Russian soul. Deep warm sounds and melancholic world-weariness go hand in hand with the perfect production of the music. Every instrument has its own important part, all the songs are on the same high level. The warm voice of Ash, the mastermind of NEUTRAL, stands above all. It would not be fair, to recommend one single song here - all of them are flawless.
To be honest: "Serpents in the Dawn" is already now one of the best albums of 2008.
