History

After Audie Pitre died, Dax Riggs decided to form a slower band. That was Daisyhead & The Mooncrickets. However it only laid out the basics of what was to come. Soon after Agents Of Oblivion was formed, the band including two former members of Acid Bath, Riggs and Mike Sanchez. It was gentler and more poetic than Dax's previous band.

The band released one self-titled album in 2000 and then broke up soon after.
