In the Press: Paxit / DEDDOM Split Featured at Machine Music

Ahead of the upcoming split release, Ron Ben-Tovim over at Machine Music has published a massive feature interview with Andrii from DEDDOM and the Paxit crew, diving deep into their minds and memories, and showcasing the chaos that is this project.

Alongside an extensive interview, the piece features an exclusive advance stream of the music. Introducing the project, Ron perfectly captures the spirit of the release:
"I guess there isn't any real way to introduce an international/intergalactic consortium of creative souls coming together to jazzgrind your mind away, but, hey, here's one way... We have Deddom, a Ukrainian, a grinding wizard of absolute proportions (think Swarrrm, only somehow crazier?) and Paxit, an Amsterdam-based, inter/trans-national gang of noise/drone/experimental magicians. With each side contributing 20 minutes of unhinged musical fare, expect, well, 40 minutes or so of musical glory to diarrhea into your mind."

Huge thanks to Ron for giving independent, extreme music such a dedicated platform and for asking such interesting and thoughtful questions. Head over to Machine Music to read the full interview, unpack the concepts behind the tracks, and get a first listen to the noise:

Get Sucked into a Jazz-Grind-Drone Vortex with DEDDOM and Paxit

The new, two track split album, elegantly (and shockingly) titled DEDDOM/Paxit is out this Friday via RZRecords and Erythroleukoplakia Records.

Don't forget to follow if you want to know what happens when a Ukrainian grinding wizard meets an Amsterdam-based gang of noise/drone magicians!

BONUS UPDATE:

Paxit - some good news and some not so good

So let's start with the good news: Paxit is now available on Bandcamp.

They've started adding some of their releases, and new materials will also be available soon.

This is in addition to Paxit's Spotify discography.

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.

Psychic War Against Cop City: An Extreme Music Compilation

The kind folks over at Delirium Psychosis Productions released a 50 track compilation titled "Psychic War Against Cop City: An Extreme Music Compilation" with the profits going to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund.

It's a good compilation with lots of interesting tracks and genres, and a very good cause.

Some of our artists participated, so if you're into the stuff we're doing, here's a great opportunity to contribute or just take a moment to learn about this important cause.

Here are the direct links to the tracks:

Haggari Nakashe's track is a synth drone gone noise. gaop & Nishma's track is multilayered noise, with drums and heavily distorted woodwinds. Paxit delivered straight up experimental doom metal.
