Free Music Notes for Agents of Oblivion
Free Music Review: Dax Riggs...poet extraordinaire
Hit: 5 Stars
I've heard nothing from this man that I didn't like. Even though there is a world of difference in the styles of Acid Bath, Deadboy and the Elephantmen, Agents of Oblivion and just Dax Riggs, it's all fantastic in its own right. I hate to compare musicians, but a friend of mine (who's had a couple of brews with Dax) mentioned that Dax is sometimes referred to as "Morbid Morrison". Damn I wish I'd coined that.Free Music Review: Louisiana Stoner Rock
Hit: 5 Stars
If your into southern stoner rock then you'll dig this album. Its like the small town musical cousin of DOWN. Its nothing like Acid Bath and is not Metal in my opinion, it's is really heavy psychadelic stoner rock with bluegrass,country, and folk elements mixed into for a sound that only a project that surely will be a welcome addition to any music collection that is open minded and always looking for something new & different from the outer edges of nowhere.
"Wither" is my favorite track.

Free Music Review: Uniquely Beautiful Departure from Acid Bath
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of you familiar with Acid Bath, frontman of Agents of Oblivion, Dax Riggs and Agents guitarist Mike Sanchez are no strangers to you. What might be strange, however, is how different this record is from the Acid Bath days. I happen to be a fan of the angry, brutal, dark Acid Bath AND also this new direction Dax and company have taken with Agents. Dax's voice is, hands down, one of the best voices in rock. Period. He's sort of like the underground Chris Cornell. (I love Chris, but Dax smokes him.) The thing with Dax is that his singing goes beyond just a lovely melody, interesting phrasing, or his seemingly effortless ability to hold a note. He is a legitimate singer with mindboggling range. His vocals drips with mystery, depth and, I don't know how else to say it but some sort of tragic longing... Dax consistently creates the most complex and moving melodies I have EVER heard. His voice is both haunting and beautiful.
The music and musicians here are in perfect harmony with the vocal stylings of Riggs. Mike Sanchez, once again, delivers soulful, passionate guitar playing and the rest of the boys hold their own as well(forgive me for not having names handy).
This is a unique record. It's different, daring and dynamic.
The Agents of Oblivion might not sit well with hard-core Acid Bath fans due to it's less brutal and agressive nature but I'm reminded of a few old Acid Bath songs such as "Bones of Baby Dolls", "New Death Sensation", and "Dead Girl",that seemed to be precursors to this new musical direction Dax and bandmates have taken.
Please listen to this record. Listen to this man sing. Listen to these boys from the bayous of Southern Louisiana break your heart with how brilliant they can be.
*Unfortunately, this lineup is no longer together. However, Dax is fronting yet another band--Deadboy and the Elephantmen...MUST CHECK THAT OUT TOO. Trust me. It's even more beautiful than Agents...but don't get me started. I'll spare all of you another "Ode to Dax" review...
Free Music Review: hey dax is pretty smart
Hit: 5 Stars
Dax made a great album, here is one with diversity and soul. Never before have i ever seen one with such singing, it even has his screen name on the album: daxr1995 which is also his email @bellsouth.net
