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.
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.
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.
