This dude sings about a demon tied to a chair in his brain and that seems to be true. Dax Riggs started his carrier in the sludge metal outfit Acid Bath then switched on to Agents Of Oblivion and Deadboy and the Elephantmen. His music evolved from raw Mississippi sludge metal to progressive stoner to blues… of better to say some kind of blues.
His debut solo album We Sing Of Only Blood Or Love, released in 2007, is one of the very underrated plates. It has everything that a good album needs. Dax is a great singer with a very interesting voice and adult interesting lyrics. He creates some mystic atmosphere on his record, it’s not normal for blues but it works for me. As for the music it varies from acoustic blues to blues rock to even some Nine Inch Nails influenced parts not loosing the main thing – the groove. Also the guitar work is great all the riffs are catchy as hell, my own favorite is Radiation Blues.
The only bad thing is that the album has no weak songs and after you listen it for three four times you will be singing all the songs.
