The Callous Daoboys announce new album | Manchester date this month
The Callous Daoboys have announced details of their new album I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven ahead of a Manchester gig this month.
The Callous Daoboys will perform at Manchester’s O2 Ritz at the end of February alongside Silversteine, Thursday and Bloom on the 25 Years of Noise World Tour
New album I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven marks the Atlanta sextet’s follow-up to 2022’s Celebrity Therapist and 2023 EP God Smiles Upon The Callous Daoboys which was nominated for Best Heavy Record in the Libera Awards 2024.
The Callous Daoboys’ I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven promises to be the band’s most personal release to date across its 13 tracks.
Ahead of the album The Callous Daoboys have shared new release Two-Headed Trout / The Demon of Unreality Liming Like A Dog with an official music video.
Speaking about the album and its inspirations vocalist Cason Pace explained, “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 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. …
“We would like to proudly present our first preview of the ‘I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven’ collection, ahead of its full release. These two pieces 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. Enjoy.”
The Callous Daoboys will release I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven on 16 May 2025.
