Editorial Reviews

Visceral indie rock duo Deadboy & the Elephantmen began as a solo project for singer/guitar player and ex-Agents of Oblivion /Acid Bath member Dax Riggs in 2000. He spent several years playing with a rotating cast of local characters before taking it solo. We Sing Only of Blood or Love is a raw and honest example of Dax's sheer talent and ferocious voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent progression from the Swamp-Country-Blues-Rock muse Dax Riggs, September 15, 2007

Dax has come along way, and leaves no room for disappointment. He started turning more in the direction of a Bluesy-Rock hybrid in his last album "We Are Night Sky", and it continues its journey in "We Sing Of Only Blood Or Love". There's still a strong undercurrent of his own eerie melodies drawn from the strength and heart of the Bayous, and his unmistakable voice is that force which binds the very universe together. My only true disappointment came when the album was over. But that's what repeat is for.

Basically, it's an excellent album, give it a listen to for yourself. If you enjoyed the direction he was heading with "We Are Night Sky", then you'll love this album. And any hardcore Agents of Oblivion or Deadboy And The Elephantmen fans should be able to appreciate his poetry in music as well.

And despite what is listed in the album info, it actually has 3 additional tracks, 13) "The Wall of Death", 14) "Scarlett of Heaven Nor Hell" and 15) "Dethbryte".

This is a good listen, and the man can sing. Pity he didn't put the best tracks from 'We are Night Sky' with the choice numbers here. That would be a great album, and maybe Dax wouldn't be running around the country as an opening act, instead of being the headliner. 'We sing....' starts well, sags a bit in the middle and finshes strongly. The twisted acoustic and acoustic/electric blooze work best for me, highlighting the voice and the lyrics. Three and a half stars, because I don't think Dax has improved on 'We are Night Sky' by having a full band on this new album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, July 19, 2011

The pure emotion and power in Dax's voice is captivating on this record. Most of the songs are short but very sweet. Would have loved to hear longer variations of the songs but hey, it is what it is and I can't complain too much. A mix of various styles of music, while relying mostly on straight up rock, is very pleasant to the ears. 5 Stars all the way.
