Serpico, the Finnish rockers known for pushing boundaries, have released ‘Dressed in Flesh’ — a bold, analog-driven album that celebrates everything raw and unfiltered about rock music. Produced by Anssi Kippo, whose credits include Children of Bodom and Ensiferum, the album was recorded live to magnetic tape at Astia Studio, bringing a level of authenticity rarely heard in today’s music landscape.
This fully analog approach reflects Serpico’s resistance to the digital polish that has become the norm. Their choice to record live as a band, without edits or overproduction, reinforces their identity as artists who value instinct, spontaneity, and musical soul.
The recording process captured what many fans and industry veterans feel has been missing from modern rock: real-time energy, human imperfections, and unapologetic grit. Kippo shares his insight:
“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.” — Anssi Kippo
Serpico’s path has never followed shortcuts. Their story is marked by perseverance and a refusal to conform. They’ve earned international recognition, including features in SPIN, Metal Hammer, and Rock Hard, and continue building momentum through authentic music and meaningful performances.
In 2023, the band performed at Geoff Tate’s anniversary show in London — a milestone that highlighted their growing reputation as torchbearers of genuine rock.
