Serpico: Analog Rock Revival Album Review

🎸 Serpico Revive Raw Hard Rock Music Energy

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.

🎸 Serpico Dressed in Flesh Album Review

Serpico‘s Dressed in Flesh feels like stepping into a dimly lit club, where the amps are loud, the air is thick, and the music hits straight into your chest. From the opening track, the band confidently leans towards a raw, guitar-driven sound that refuses to turn into anything artificial. This album has a live quality – you can hear the strings echoing and the drums echoing almost in real time. Instead of chasing trends, Serpico embraced the heart of rock: big riffs, steady grooves, and vocals that hold both grit and conviction. The result is immediate and refreshingly honest.

What makes Dressed in Flesh attractive is its balance of power and control. The heavier moments surge with swagger, while the more restrained passages reveal depth and musical maturity. Each track feels purposeful, driven by tight musicianship and shared chemistry that can’t be manufactured. There’s attitude here, but it never feels forced; It feels earned. Serpico doesn’t try to re-invent rock music – they just play it with passion and conviction. And sometimes, that’s what makes an album the most popular.
