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 have wonderful news, there's a brand new release from gaop! It's dark, it's jazzy, it's piano-lead dark ambient with sad undertones. A 47 minute long odyssey with a winter feel to it. The aforementioned piano is accompanied by metallic percussion, woodwind shrieks and a generally brooding atmosphere created by layered effects. The sound is one of minimalism, but not in an uneventful way. The release is free to stream on most platforms, but also available for digital purchase on gaop's bandcamp . This release is another one in gaop's experimental celebrations of post-jazz and post-classical sounds, via a mesmerizing dark ambient, a contrast to his harsh noise releases but not venturing far from "noise" in general, it might be more user friendly, but the color palette is the same. The feedback, the humming drones hiding in the background, those are dead giveaways. The album is a hauntingly beautiful collection of sounds that delve into the depths of ...
An hour-long sonic journey awaits you, featuring three distinct tracks, co-created by three talented artists. Get ready to immerse yourself in the haunting sounds of drone, dark jazz, ambient, and doom music, all brought to life through a unique blend of woodwinds, drums, electric pianos, synths, bass, and even some bells. Brace yourself for an otherworldly experience "like no other", brought to you by the collaborative efforts of NishMa, Haggari Nakashe, and gaop. You Will Know Them by Their Fruits is an interesting experience, and we're glad that RZRecords is part of it. NishMa, Haggari Nakashe, and gaop have masterfully crafted a musical tapestry that slightly pushes boundaries and defies boring traditional genre constraints. The two longer tracks within this sonic journey (25 and 33 minutes long) unfold like a chapter in a mysterious narrative, drawing you in with hypnotic rhythms, evocative melodies, and subtle nuances. The third, much shorter track, serves as an ...
IMPORTANT UPDATE : We're moving the deadline to December to give us some more time to prep and you some more times to finish your tracks! Greetings fellow sound aficionados! We are again inviting everyone to submit your materials for our 6 ways split series! Hot on the heels of RZRecords SIX WAY SPLIT, Vol.1 and RZRecords 6 WAY SPLIT, Vol.2 , we are now looking for submissions for the 3rd and 4th installments. The theme we requested for the previous releases was "dark", and people submitted lots of stuff that just showed how conceptions change between people. We thought it was pretty awesome that the tracks we received were so different in style. This time around, think "dark" but there are literally no limitations when it comes to musical themes or genres. Send whatever seems right, or whatever you want to share with the world. The rules are: no samples - the releases going to be submitted to the majority of streaming platforms and having copyright issue...
