And now for the bad news: some of the releases are still missing, so no full discography here.
For those not in the know, Paxit is a group that noise metal group, although for their first decade of existence, they had ten members for their live shows, some of them playing trumpet, saxophone, or just screaming into the void in costumes and makeup. They went from that to a doom, drone, sludge trio, and there have been numerous lineup changes, sound pivots, and so on.
The lineup changes didn't hurt their passion, and even though they had frequent style changes, the core remained raw and crazy.
This is what they looked and sounded like for a hot moment around 2007, which is around seventeen years ago:
While this is somewhat expected for such a chaotic group, it is not the best news.
As we posted on social in the past - we're still looking for whatever's left of their old physical releases, those CDRs, those ZIP files on thumb drives, etc.
There are also some legal issues with obtaining their debut album, so things being spotty is business as usual.
To conclude: Paxit's new music coming up - is good. Paxit music lost to time - bad.
If you have any of those releases, please use our contact form to tell us all about it!
Seriously, if you have anything that could help us preserve their past music, please let us know.
We are extremely happy to announce this super interesting release, one of the first gems to hit RZR in 2025. A split between Heavy Insect, an alternative noise rock, sludge, post-grunge, insanecore, weirdo indie one-man band from Chicago, doing some really inspiring work from his basement, and our very own Haggari Nakashe & gaop, with a painfully loud, raw, slow, and dirty take on noise rock. This split will be released on streaming platforms around April, but as of last night, you can stream and purchase it via Heavy Insect's Bandcamp (see the embed below for easy access). We encourage you to do so. Make sure to check out his latest album "Out of Light", which was released last month. Officially known as RZR release RZR25SS01, we really hope that the Anomalous Trackologies Split will help to put us back on track with our split series. This pet project is something we try to promote hard every year but often underperform, given how sometimes life is just a se...
Usually, it's best to write original content so search engines won't tag you as a spammer copying texts from elsewhere. I guess this time is a perfect opportunity for an exception, as Haggari pretty much sums everything up perfectly, so rewriting his promo blurb into something else would just harm the message, his message. What's left to add is that this very (sad but) enjoyable release (catalog no. RZR25HNENT) is available on Bandcamp , and should hit streaming services sometime next month. Follow Haggari's Instagram for more updates. Here's what Haggari had to say: My latest offering, "EXPLORING NOISE TEXTURES", is a two-track album that delves deep into the interplay between sound and sadness, rethinking personal experiences that might resonate with the listener's emotional landscape via sounds. Each 25-minute track serves as an exploration, where dissonant layers of synth noise weave together delicate ambient-like textures, challenging the inn...
Honey, wake up, the new SMEGMASMOG just dropped, on time for International Women's Day! It's super loud, really abrasive, and distinctively sad due to the keyboard lines added to the noise, feedback, shrieks, and tortured screaming. If there was ever a depressive blackened HWN genre, this is it. Obviously, it thematically revolves around the title, which gives you a whiff of the upcoming rot, BETRAYAL. It's a two-track album, over 40 minutes of pleasurable aural abuse. I could go on about it but you should really just listen to what these do. It's available on their Bandcamp , and will also pop up on streaming platforms within the next month or so. While you're clicking links, make sure to follow their Instagram page for more updates. They really deserve your attention. BETRAYAL by SMEGMASMOG
