If rock ‘n’ roll ever needed a rejuvenation, Serpico’s “Dressed In Flesh” answers the call. Rejecting modern music’s obsession with flawlessness, these Finnish hard rockers embrace a philosophy of honest imperfection on their latest release, recorded fully analog under industry veteran Anssi Kippo’s watchful eye.
Kippo, whose resume boasts gold and platinum records, sees Serpico as a band whose instinct and authenticity put them a cut above, deserving the world stage Golden Robot Records can offer. The album’s production—recorded live, with band members playing together—delivers that rare pulse and chaos missing in today’s hyper-edited world.
Serpico’s commitment has paid off, landing them accolades in SPIN, Metal Hammer, and more. Sharing stages with heavyweights like Michael Monroe and Geoff Tate, their live energy matches the record’s blunt force, culminating in a 2023 blowout at London’s Garage for Tate’s “Operation: Mindcrime” celebration.
Their future plans—a Finnish tour in 2026 and expansion abroad—suggest Serpico’s crusade isn’t slowing down. With “Dressed In Flesh,” they’re not reminiscing; they’re throwing down the gauntlet, rallying listeners to demand rock with grit and guts.
