Rock/Review Serpico - Hard as a Cannonball

With "Hard as a Cannonball," Finnish hard rockers Serpico come roaring back with a no-holds-barred anthem that blends old-school grit with modern-day urgency. The first single from their upcoming album Dressed in Flesh (due September 12 via Golden Robot Records), this track feels like a punch to the gut—in the best possible way.

From the first riff, Serpico plunges the listener into a sonic battlefield, invoking the energy of classic David vs. Goliath tales with a contemporary twist. The vocals are gritty and impassioned, backed by thunderous drums and searing guitars that echo the analog warmth of rock’s golden age. Thanks to a platinum producer and a fully analog recording process, the song crackles with raw intensity—refreshingly free of over-polished digital gloss.

Lyrically, "Hard as a Cannonball" is a call to resilience. It's about facing impossible odds, standing your ground, and refusing to fold. Think Rocky Balboa swagger fused with Iron Maiden-sized adrenaline.

Serpico’s return proves they’re not just surviving in the modern rock landscape—they’re throwing haymakers. This track is bold, explosive, and unapologetically alive. If it’s a preview of what’s to come on Dressed in Flesh, fans are in for a wild ride.
