Dax Riggs

Singer-songwriter/psychedelic death-metal veteran Dax Riggs has been a New Orleans figure of worship since his days fronting Acid Bath, an early sludge-metal band. Acid Bath disbanded following the tragic death of bass player Audie Pitre, and Riggs launched the short-lived (one album, one tour) project Agents of Oblivion followed by the longer-lasting Deadboy and the Elephant Men. When Elephant Men dissolved in 2006, Riggs released their forthcoming record himself. Since then, Riggs has been recording and performing under his own name.
