A fearlessly free-spirited collective from Atlanta, Georgia, The Callous Daoboys revels in high-strung extremity, careening from furious metal cacophony to unabashed rock 'n roll and back again. The band Kerrang! hails as “gloriously chaotic” is like a Molotov cocktail combining extreme metal and nü-metal with life-affirming glee, as each song deliriously swerves across stylistic lines.
The Callous Daoboys are frontman Carson Pace, possessed like a young Mike Patton; fretboard-abusing guitarists Maddie Caffrey and Daniel Hodsdon; frantic bassist Jackie Buckalew; destructive drummer Matthew Hague; and spirited violinist Amber Christman.
Celebrated by SPIN, Fader, Revolver, Brooklyn Vegan, and New Noise (who praised the band as “innovative, unflinching, brazen”), The Callous Daoboys have turned heads on raucous tours with TesseracT, Protest The Hero, and SeeYouSpaceCowboy, and at prestigious international metal festivals. Celebrity Therapist (2022) more than delivered on the promise of the band’s early rumblings. I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven (2025) ups the ante on every conceivable level.
The album was produced by Dom Maduri (Silly Goose, GEL, Bummer Hill).
Musically, every side of the band is also explored, with dizzyingly venomous results. Songs like “Distracted by the Mona Lisa,” “Lemon,” “The Demon of Unreality Limping Like a Dog,” and “Two-Headed Trout” run the gamut between frenzied metalcore assault and rock n’ roll abandon.
