May: I Come Again - Never Dreamed I Come Back Like This

On November 8, 2020 I shared the album Deadboy & the Elephant Men
- If This is Hell Then I’m Lucky here. 

 

 

Deadboy & the Elephant Men was an American alternative rock band from 2000 to 2007 based in Houma, Louisiana. Dax Riggs (formerly of Acid Bath & Agents of Oblivion) was the moving force for the band. Riggs conceived the name as a combination of New York punk band Dead Boys & the David Lynch film The Elephant Man.

Here I'm going to share some music by both of Dax's earlier bands Acid Bath & Agents of Oblivion along with another serving of Deadboy & the Elephant Men, then one from Riggs' extensive solo career.

First off from 1994 is this sludge metal bomb with cover artwork by serial killer John Wayne Gacy ...
