Finnish hard rock renegades Serpico return with Dressed in Flesh, their most uncompromising and authentic album to date — a fierce statement against the over-processed, personality-free sound dominating modern rock.
Recorded fully analog on magnetic tape at Astia Studio with legendary producer Anssi Kippo (Children of Bodom, Ensiferum), Dressed in Flesh captures what many believe has been missing from contemporary music: danger, groove, soul, and human imperfection. The band recorded live, playing together as a unit, allowing the music to breathe with raw power and instinct.
There have even been rumors that Serpico may be the long-awaited savior of rock ’n’ roll — a claim backed by their producer:
“I’ve been a professional music producer for 30 years and have both produced and engineered several gold and platinum-selling albums. Serpico stands out from the masses not only with great songwriting, but especially as they are bringing the genuine feel of danger back to rock music. With the support of Golden Robot Records, they have the opportunity to show their potential to the world.”

Throughout their career, Serpico have been fighting against windmills — pushing real, authentic rock music back toward the mainstream where it belongs. That journey has required relentless hard work, unwavering dedication, and resilience, with mental health repeatedly put to the test along the way. Their story is not one of shortcuts, but of belief, instinct, and refusing to compromise.
The band’s authenticity has not gone unnoticed. Serpico have received international recognition from outlets including SPIN Magazine, Metal Hammer (Germany & Italy), Rock Hard Magazine, and numerous rock and metal publications worldwide. SPIN previously spotlighted the band’s “Rock ’N’ Roll Is Not Dead” video, reinforcing their reputation as true torchbearers of the genre.
On stage, Serpico have shared bills with rock legends such as Geoff Tate (ex-Queensrÿche), Michael Monroe, Andy McCoy, Sami Yaffa, The 69 Eyes, and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Notably, in 2023, the band performed at The Garage, Islington (London) as part of Geoff Tate’s 35th anniversary show celebrating Queensrÿche’s Operation: Mindcrime — a landmark moment that further cemented Serpico’s standing within the international rock community.
More than a nostalgic throwback, Dressed in Flesh is a declaration: rock music does not need perfection — it needs honesty, risk, and soul. Serpico deliver all three, unapologetically.
The band plans to tour Finland in 2026, with international dates to follow, continuing their mission to revive dangerous, genuine rock ’n’ roll for a new generation.
