The Callous Daoboys have announced their third album, I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven, due May 16 via MRNK Heavy, and we have an exclusive “calf” neon coral, black & white vinyl variant up for pre-order now in the BV shop. Get yours while they last and check out a mock-up below.
The announcement comes with a double single, “Two-Headed Trout” / “The Demon of Unreality Limping Like A Dog,” which singer Carson Pace says “do not represent a thesis or mission statement of the collection, but rather two extremities. If you’re a fan of us being a rock band, I have good news for you. If you’re a fan of us being a chaotic metalcore band, I have GREAT news for you. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.” That gives you a very good idea of what to expect from these songs, which find the Daoboys at their most accessible yet and also their most crushingly heavy. They come paired in one music video, a cinematic clip that’s as over-the-top as the band’s music. Here’s what Carson says about the album as a whole:
The album is an artifact that’s been preserved, and hundreds of years in the future, you’re listening to this album in the museum. It’s a known failure, but the narrative is: ‘If it survives forever, is it truly a failure?’
Everything is very singular and personal. I’m not making an album commenting on anything societal or political this time, this is an album just for me. It’s every emotion I’ve felt and every sobering thought since 2021. I can only make this album now—not in three years when I’m thirty, not ten years ago when I was seventeen. This is the snapshot of 24-27. A scrapbook of trial and error, or better yet, a Museum of Failure.
Watch the new video below. The Callous Daoboys also open the Europe/UK leg of the Silverstein/Thursday tour, and then they open Chiodos’ All’s Well That Ends Well 20th anniversary tour in the US (including NYC’s Webster Hall on April 21). All dates are listed below.
