The Shakespeare Pub, Herdecke. Regelmäßig the Best Live Music, Tastings und andere Events.
Only those who know the ease of a cow while defecating can understand the genesis of the songs of Zolle.
Children of a natural path, direct, compact, subject to the force of gravity. Impact safe with warm soul that does not end in the fall to the ground.
Even the sketches are lost.
In this contemporary, complex and indefinite, spare plates affirm the essential, appearing as furrows of land of the plain from which they come.
Being broken, turned, crushed, chopped Scents and smells merge into a single mass of sound: Zolle.
Zolle are an Heavy Rock duo with Stefano (Drums and Vocals) and Marcello (Guitars and Vocals). They play really LOUD.
In the last 25 years they played (or are still playing) in MoRkObOt, Viscera///, Osso, Klown, Berlikete, Bacio Violento and maybe others more).
Macello, the fourth record of the duo Zolle, wants to symbolize the human condition of living in ambivalence, contradiction, paradox.
Macello (Italian word for Slaughterhouse, but means also “mess” or “shindy”) is the crudest expression, in all senses, of the coexistence of end and beginning, death and life, absence and presence, tragedy and opportunity.
A significant place, a time suspended, a powerful ritual, a real mess.
It is certainly a convivial record, but a little poisoned, it takes you with feet on the ground, sometimes it makes you dream.
Macello was born to be born, genuine, in the rehearsal room, faithful to the meeting of Stefano (drums and voice) and Marcello (guitar and voice), distinguishing itself from albums conceived in function of a premeditated and probably written destiny.
In Macello we find the value of authenticity, with a real, direct, analogical performance on tape, with overdubs reduced to the bone, so that the listener can perceive himself in the dimension of Zolle’s concert, vibrating with energy.
This time, perhaps to mark a bridge to the future of the Heavy Rock duo, there are trails of voice, never used in the past.
Macello was recorded and mixed in August 2019 by Giulio Ragno Favero at Sotto il Mare Recording Studios in Madonna dell’Uva Secca (Verona, Italy) and mastered by Giovanni Versari. Cover Artwork by Berlikete and Eeviac.
There’s a lot on their plate!
Pubs bringen Menschen zusammen.
Ein offenes Wohnzimmer für Jung und Alt.
Denn Gesellschaft macht uns glücklich

We need these spaces for young and old.
