Agents of Oblivion was Dax Riggs’ and Mike Sanchez’s next project after the 1997 break up of sludge legends Acid Bath due to bassist Audie Pitre’s death. Agents of Oblivion took the morbid, Southern Gothic-influenced blues rock elements Acid Bath experimented with before its disintegration, and progresses on it further adding in elements of goth rock, post-punk, and doom metal. Guitarist Sanchez and vocalist Riggs recruited Alex Bergeron (bass), Chuck Pitre (keyboads, no relation to Audie), and Jeff McCarty (drums) to complete the line up. Despite their enormous potential, Agents of Oblivion only released one self-titled album before splitting up.

BrokenSignals: You're not alone in thinking that way. Agents of Oblivion definitely has some early grunge sound to it, it's got that same tone in the vocals and the same gloomy atmosphere.

Dont shoot me down, but some of this stuff reminds me of early Soundgarden especially Endsmouth.

This band are tremendous songwriters. Thier understanding of melancholy melodies is not to be underestimated. I personally prefer them when they're less heavy and a tad more calm and heartfelt, (Endsmouth, The Hangmans Daughter) but every song is at least good.

"Great band. But the similar artists are all wrong. Electric Wizard?! No." That's because they're listed as doom metal when they're not.
