Serpico returns with an album that might just save rock ‘n’ roll from itself. “Dressed In Flesh” is raw, real, and fully analog—a gutsy retort to an industry that has stripped music of its primal power. At Astia Studio, under Anssi Kippo’s direction, the Finnish outfit recorded like their heroes—together, live, making magic on tape, not in post-production.
The result is an undeniable thrill, a sense of risk and humanity rarely heard in contemporary releases. Kippo, responsible for shaping some of Finland’s most acclaimed metal albums, calls Serpico a beacon of real rock danger—an endorsement that aligns with iconic press coverage from SPIN to Rock Hard Magazine. Their conviction has propelled them onto bills with genre-defining acts, even scoring a coveted spot at Geoff Tate’s anniversary London show.
Far from being a mere throwback, “Dressed In Flesh” is forward-looking—a shot of adrenaline for a generation deprived of musical danger. Serpico’s war has demanded grit and resilience, tested their mental resolve, and set them apart from bands chasing easy fame.
With more touring ahead and a new battle plan for international stages, Serpico’s latest record is an invitation. For those missing the thrill of the unknown in music, “Dressed In Flesh” brings it back—loud, proud, and unapologetically reckless.
