Finnish hard rockers Serpico are out to prove that the raw, electric danger of classic rock ‘n’ roll isn’t just alive—it’s belting from the speakers with their latest full-length, “Dressed In Flesh.” After years fighting an uphill battle against the sanitized sound dominating today’s airwaves, Serpico’s analog-driven new album reclaims rock’s once-fierce authenticity.
Cut on magnetic tape at Astia Studio under the guidance of legendary producer Anssi Kippo, “Dressed In Flesh” is a masterclass in pure, risk-taking musicianship. The entire band played live in the studio, capturing every passionate groove, glorious mistake, and sweaty nuance. Kippo, who’s gained gold and platinum honors with acts like Children of Bodom and Ensiferum, hails Serpico as unique torchbearers with genuine edge—a quality he says is missing from so much of contemporary music.
International publications have long rallied behind Serpico, with SPIN Magazine, Metal Hammer, and Rock Hard among the outlets recognising their dedication to real rock. Their video “Rock ’N’ Roll Is Not Dead” drew critical attention as a rallying cry for the genre’s survival, and their live resume includes stints alongside titans like Geoff Tate, Michael Monroe, and The 69 Eyes. The band’s 2023 performance in London with Tate, celebrating 35 years of Queensrÿche’s “Operation: Mindcrime,” stands as a career highlight.
Far from nostalgia, “Dressed In Flesh” is a battle cry for imperfection, groove, and unfiltered humanity in music. With Finnish tour dates set for 2026 and international shows on the horizon, Serpico are ready to drag genuine rock back into the global spotlight.
