Two DeBaser reviews paint Dax Riggs as a criminally overlooked voice moving from Acid Bath’s roots to swampy, twilight solo work. We Sing of Only Blood or Love (2007) gets detailed praise for its blues, folk, and punk shadows, plus Matt Sweeney’s production. Say Goodnight to the World (2010) is celebrated in a hallucinatory, infernal blues tone. Across both, the voice is the central, devastating force.
