Dax Riggs (born 15 October 1973 in Evansville, Indiana, United States) is an independently-signed singer/songwriter. His diverse musical style encompasses heavy metal, psychedelic rock, blues rock, and post-punk. 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 sludge 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. Since stylistically leaving extreme metal, after the dissolution of Acid Bath, Riggs culls musical influence from classic Black Sabbath-style heavy metal, early-style indie rock, blues-rock, folk-rock, and post-punk, with audible and cited influence from Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen. He first sang in Acid Bath at age 16. Riggs, along with Acid Bath bandmate Mike Sanchez, formed the bluesy post-metal outfit Agents of Oblivion after the demise of Acid Bath. In his heavy metal days with Acid Bath, Riggs was one of the pioneers of the “dual vocal” metal style, mixing angelic harmonies seemlessly with demonic growls.
