International economic devastation coinciding with a rise in right-wing nationalism sound familiar to anyone? If not, The Shell Collector might like to go ahead and remind you of the history repeating itself before your very eyes. The Berlin (presumably at least in part by way of Italy) trio released their cumbersomely-titled single-track EP, Raw, Improvised and Live from a Studio in Nalepastrasse, on April 29 to coincide with the anniversary of Italy’s liberation from fascism, and I’ll be damned if the accordingly 29-minute piece isn’t a refresher on how broad freedom can sound, running as it does between psychedelia, progressive metal, classic heavy and six or seven other styles of rock along the winding course it takes. Easy to dig where they’re coming from here in terms of message and groove alike. And let’s say you don’t even make it through the first 10 minutes of the thing. Isn’t the notion of “fuck fascism” worth clicking play once?

To that end, the following:

The Shell Collector – Raw, Improvised and Live from a Studio in Nalepastrasse

We, the Shell Collector, love a great written piece of music. Being in control of every detail. Extracting everything out of the situation, our voices, our instruments. But what about undermining that control? What is left? Just hit record and play.

This is a musical conversation among brothers. Bandmates. Friends.
A resistance piece that is unrehearsed, unedited and free of preconceptions.
We played through limits, common rules and restrictions of time.

Live from a studio in Nalepastrasse, Berlin.

We want to share this half an hour improvisation with you, in commemoration of the liberation of Italy from Fascism, which ended on 29 April 1945. A day when the common people were finally freed and impositions were uplifted, resulting in the hanging of several tyrannic figures as a symbol of political and spiritual freedom.

The Shell Collector is an alternative progressive rock trio, born in 2012 and now based in Berlin. A new EP is going to be released very soon. You can find TSC´s music in Bandcamp, Spotify, Soundcloud, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

The Shell Collector are:
Enrico Tiberi – guitar and vocals
Gianluca Gulino – bass
Kay Ketting – drums
