Alternative Press teamed with the Callous Daoboys for exclusive vinyl of I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven, limited to 250 copies. Head to the AP Shop to grab yours.
Following 2022’s outrageous Celebrity Therapist, the Callous Daoboys will return with their third album, I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven, on May 16 via MNRK Heavy.
The record zaps listeners 300 years ahead, and inside The Museum of Failure, where its 13 tracks are on display to answer if they were truly terrible or just ahead of their time. “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,” vocalist Carson Pace explains. “It’s a known failure, but the narrative is, ‘If it survives forever, is it truly a failure?’

“Everything is very singular and personal,” he continues. “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 30, not 10 years ago when I was 17. This is the snapshot of 24-27. A scrapbook of trial and error, or better yet, a Museum of Failure.” You can hear that intensity on the band’s dramatic double single, “Two-Headed Trout” / “The Demon of Unreality Limping Like A Dog,” which “do not represent a thesis or mission statement of the collection, but rather two extremities.”
The Callous Daoboys will open the Europe and U.K. leg of Silverstein’s 25 Years of Noise tour and then join Chiodos’ All’s Well That Ends Well 20th anniversary run in the U.S. You can check out the full routing here.
