Deadsy released two albums: 2002's Commencement, and Phantasmagore, which came out on August 22, 2006. Many of the themes used by Allman in Deadsy have been heavily influenced by the 1955 film This Island Earth.

In 1994, he auditioned for the spot of guitarist for Nine Inch Nails, but ended up losing the spot to Robin Finck.
He has worked with Thirty Seconds to Mars for the band's self-titled debut album. and has also provided guest vocals on a variety of songs for other bands including Orgy, Coal Chamber and Sugar Ray.

On December 1, 2013, he married Marieangela King, "Queenie", an English singer, of the band KING and sister of Jazzy and Ruby King from the British pop duo Blonde Electra. The couple broke up on April 20, 2020, and Allman filed for divorce the following year.
In 2014, Allman admitted that he began taking drugs at age 11 and battled heroin addiction for years, but claimed that he has been sober since 2008.
In 2023 Elijah Blue Allman's wife, Marieangela King, alleged in a court filing that Allman had been kidnapped on his mother's orders from a hotel room where they had been trying to "work out their marriage" on their anniversary in November 2022.
