Dax Riggs - "I am just unhappy with the state of it [heavy metal] right now, almost embarrassed"

The Gauntlet recently caught up with Dax Riggs (Acid Bath, Agents of Oblivion, Deadboy & the Elephantmen) and asked about his thoughts on the current metal scene. Dax replied "Absolutely, absolutely! I am interested in metal. I am just unhappy with the state of it right now, [I am] almost embarrassed. I do check things out and am just waiting for something to happen. I guess I am just into metal before it became metal. I think of doing stuff that is heavier, but just different. I am always keeping an eye open for it and have high hopes. I totally could see doing some metal things. I don't think it would be what Acid Bath fans would want, but I shouldn't say that because maybe it will be. It would be far removed of any known form of metal at this time. I'd really like to do a doom project but I don't want it to drone on. I would be more interested in the songs and lyrics in the setup. I t is a possibility. I know all be doing something heavier in the future." You can read the entire interview here.

Dax Riggs recently released "Say Goodnight to the World".
