Alternative metal collective The Callous Daoboys return with a blazing new single, “Gigantic Parasite Tongue.” The track is the first new music from the band since the release of their 2025 acclaimed recent album, I Don’t Want to See You In Heaven. The Daoboys’ Carson Pace shares, “This song is going to change the world.”
Dan Hodsdon adds, “Meshuggah playing Future Breed Machine live at Download 2005.” The unsettling video for “Gigantic Parasite Tongue” was directed by Sam Hahn, and is a haunting departure from their earlier visuals. The story follows a modern angel who is mercilessly kidnapped and dragged away. Bound and powerless, he becomes the victim of a brutal ritual, his wings torn from him in a desperate attempt to transfer divinity to another. Watch the video – HERE The Callous Daoboys will be touring throughout the year, beginning with a North American tour with Arm’s Length, kicking off in Ottawa on 21st April.

A feral, genre-detonating collective from Atlanta, The Callous Daoboys don’t just flirt with chaos; they weaponize it. Their sound is a whiplash-inducing riot, spasming between metalcore violence, nü-metal sleaze, noise rock exorcisms, and swaggering rock ’n roll like a car with no brakes and everything on fire. They’ve left a trail of stunned crowds alongside acts like TesseracT, Protest the Hero, and SeeYouSpaceCowboy, while tearing through international festival stages like a controlled collapse. Celebrity Therapist (2022) cracked the door open; I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven (2025), produced by Dom Maduri, kicks it off the hinges and sets the frame ablaze. Plenty of bands claim they balance chaos and melody. The Callous Daoboys don’t balance anything; they overload it. Noise rock isn’t revived here; it’s resurrected, reanimated, and sent rampaging through the streets. Across their discography, they’ve proven one thing with absolute clarity: subtlety is dead, and they killed it on purpose. |
