The Callous Daoboys are back with their latest single, “Gigantic Parasite Tongue.” The track is accompanied by a rather dark and striking video maintaining the band’s trademark intense and chaotic energy. They’re hitting the road to support the release with a North American run before heading to Europe for summer dates.
A press release from Callous Daoboys announced that “Gigantic Parasite Tongue” is out from April 2nd, 2026.
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.”
Listen to “Gigantic Parasite Tongue”:
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.

About The Callous Daoboys
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.
