Dax Riggs

Dax's solo project started out under the name T-Daks & His White Plastic Soul. Riggs performed a handful of live shows under that name, mostly performing acoustic. After the breakup of Deadboy & The Elephantmen in early 2007, Dax stated that he would release future albums under his own name. His first solo album, We Sing of Only Blood or Love, was released on Fat Possum Records in August 2007. Dax's second album, Say Goodnight to the World was released on August 3, 2010 (also with Fat Possum Records).

Agents of Oblivion was the first of Dax's post-Acid Bath projects to release any official recordings. The band first emerged with a five-song demo, featuring former Acid Bath guitarist Mike Sanchez on lead guitar. The demo included "Big Black Backwards," "Ash of the Mind," and other songs which would later appear on the band's self-titled debut. This 2000 album, Agents of Oblivion, included the five demo songs, in addition to "Riding the Wormhole," a new version of "The Skeletal Circus Derails," and a newer, faster version of Acid Bath's "Dead Girl." The album features a blend of spare, dark ballads interspersed with blues-based heavy metal, although the sound never reverts to the more aggressive stylings of Acid Bath. The band broke up after a short tour in support of the album.

Deadboy & the Elephantmen was Dax's next band, who were active from 2000 until 2007. Initially a Dax solo project, it later morphed into a full band before eventually settling on a two-piece lineup of Dax and drummer Tessie Brunet. The band toured on many festivals with many bands, including Fiery Furnaces, Peaches, Eagles of Death Metal, Wolfmother, and Heartless Bastards, and released albums on Fat Possum Records.

They also detail a point in Riggs' career when he struggled for life after Acid Bath, which disbanded following the death of bassist Audie Pitre in 1997.

Daisyhead & The Mooncrickets was a project of Dax Riggs between 1995 and 1997 that never took off. Only two Daisyhead recordings are known to exist: Skeletal Circus Derails, a 6-song recording from 1995, and a self-titled 14-track album from 1997, where most of the songs are cut off before they end.

Golgotha was the sludge/thrash metal foundation of what would later become Acid Bath. The band released one demo Wet Dreams of the Insane (1991) under that name before changing it. It featured Dax Riggs as the lead vocalist, Mike Sanchez and Jerry "Boon" Businelli on guitar, Jimmy Kyle on drums, and Chad Pierce on bass.
