His distinct lyrical style is characterized by a consumption by darkness, Satanic visions, druggy hallucinations, melancholy, morbid imagery, and a fascination with death in specific, all in an impassioned, raspy baritone that can be largely characterized as nocturnally beautiful in feeling. Dax has lead numerous bands and projects, most famously the legendary Houma, Louisiana band Acid Bath in the 1990s, plus Agents Of Oblivion and Deadboy & the Elephantmen. He has an album, 2007’s We Sing Of Only Blood Or Love, under his own name.

    According to Agents of Oblivion shoutbox. Dax Riggs is underrated Midas. Yes, everything he does is gold, but unfortunately he isn't well-known.
