Finnish Hard Rock Icons Continue Their High-Voltage Assault
Pori, Finland – August 19, 2025 – Metal Devastation PR is thrilled to announce that Finnish hard rock powerhouse Serpico has released their latest single, “Sweet Rebel Darling” , now streaming worldwide via Golden Robot Records .
Written and composed by Vee Dour (Kalle Virtanen) , with arrangements by Serpico and Anssi Kippo , and produced at Astia Studio by Kippo, “Sweet Rebel Darling” is more than a song—it’s a celebration of freedom, free will, and raw, untamed rock energy. The track was inspired by a touching documentary about the Council of the Hipe, a peaceful group constantly under governmental pressure.
Frontman Vee Dour explains:
“Seeing a group that loved peace be treated as a threat—it was surreal. Their ingenuity and commitment to secrecy won my sympathy, and this song became a hymn to freedom, love, and rebellion. It’s a primitive cry into the unknown, with a hint of anarchy, influenced by the spirit of road movies.”
Drummer Jani Serpico adds:
“When we recorded this, I immediately dug it. Anssi Kippo nailed a drum sound that makes the stereo rock like crazy. The song grows as it rolls forward—every instrument adds its own voice, every rhythm detail matters. It’s hard rock with its own heartbeat, and it feels completely ‘Ride Free’—just like life should be.”
Golden Robot Records’ Kay Macauley notes:
“Working with Serpico is a privilege. ‘Sweet Rebel Darling’ embodies originality, passion, and a sound that demands attention. Fans are going to love what’s coming on the new album.”
And the momentum keeps rolling— Spin Magazine recently spotlighted Serpico’s “Rock n’ Roll Is Not Dead!” video and exclusive interview , further proving that this Finnish juggernaut is keeping the flame of real rock burning bright.

Serpico’s rise continues after recent press highlights, including their previous single “Rock N’ Roll Is Not Dead” being featured in Metal Hammer’s Top Metal Videos of the Week .
With a track record of delivering authentic, high-voltage rock reminiscent of Guns N’ Roses, Hanoi Rocks, Michael Monroe, and Motörhead, Serpico continues to push the boundaries of Finnish hard rock—raw, unfiltered, and impossible to ignore.
