A well established Finnish metal act who are at their best an "Opeth-lite". A little cheesier at times with some out of left field pop melodies mixed in from time to time...Another band with a long under the radar career with varied sounds throughout, beginning as progressive death metal band and currently as a folk/pop metal act.

Dax Riggs
Finally time for a new post. Today's focus is on the many faces of Dax Riggs, who began his career as a teenager with the NOLA-based Acid Bath, before moving on to Agents of Oblivion, Deadboy and the Elephantmen, and now as a solo act.
First up...Acid Bath, who released 2 highlight packed albums that have really aged well considering how young the band members were and the era in which they were recorded(mid 90s).
Agents of Oblivion saw Dax moving away from his metal upbringing and trying to redefine his sound.
Next up is the duet project of Deadboy and the Elephantmen, which was a much rawer sounding version of The White Stripes.
And for his solo work, the sounds of Deadboy remain, but with little less of the Stripes sound....possible more of a Black Keys influence on the work.
