Louisiana Stoner Rock

"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."

Picks up where PTT left off...

"This magnificent album picks up right where Paegan Terrorism Tactics left off. Obviously it's not Acid Bath as the songs are somewhat lighter in overall mood, but it is a VERY slow moving, dark themed album. By now (2000) AB has broken up and this is (was) Dax's new band, and you can see how dax has come to embrace darker (than usual, even for him)songs. Phantom Green is a song that is a definite slow rocker with seering guitar solos and Dax's notorious bellowing. As with anything that Dax Riggs is associated with, this album is not for the light-hearted. The music is very moving even though the musical structure is watered down a bit (in comparison to AB.) If you preferred PTT's slower moody rock, then you will mosdef dig this album! Long Live Dax!"

One of the top 5 most underated albums ever

"To begin, I find it odd that I ever even picked this album up besides the fact that it was an acid bath side project. I am undoubtedly a metalhead although a compramising one at that. However un-metal like this album is, I love it to death. I will forever treasure this cd for giving me not only musical inspiration in a different direction than ever before, but for great insight and the greatest of listening pleasure. It is difficult to slap a label on this work of art, but here goes: I prefer to call it psychedelic-stoner-grunge-rock. But that is no proper description for this album. This album made such an impact on me that I've been burning copies left and right to friends and co-workers like it was my job, and they all have given great responses to it. The songwriting on this cd is impeccable. It is far too creative and complex and altogether different to be standard radio play. You'll find surreal acoustic guitar work, fuzzy distorted guitars to accompany the acoustics, perfect rock n roll beats with a real commanding sound, a truly peaceful deep and mellow bass,synthezizers and piano that are both haunting and ethereal, and the most powerful and strangely beautiful vocals I have ever heard. The vocals, just like any album that Dax has sung in, stand out in such a way that is never odd but incredibly different. The vocals are in one phrase: "from the deepest depths of the human heart". Dax is a music legend in his own right for his extremely different sound and obscure,poetic lyrics. This album should be recommended to any person with good taste in music that seeks out new music that is "real". More than anything, Agents of Oblivion is "real"."
