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.
"ever rest" by ohrr is a three track EP, that blends post metal, with dark ambient and sound manipulation. It's doomy and gloomy in nature, and has a heavy feeling to it, even though it's minimalistic and partially acoustic.
We're humbled and delighted to have it on RZRecords. "ever rest" was not only highly anticipated, but is also a breath of fresh air.
This EP follows several singles ohrr released in 2023, but while those were more of a noisy ambient, IDM like takes on electronic music, this release channels artists such as Jodis, Sumac, Neurosis, Tribes of Neurot or at times even Tool, in composition and concept.
The release is instrumental, 15.5 minutes in length and currently available on all streaming platforms.
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.
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.
