Atlanta, GA sextet The Callous Daoboys cordially invites you to The Museum of Failure, a sonic exploration of the band’s newly announced album ‘I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven‘, with a grand opening date of May 16 (via MNRK Heavy).’I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven’ is the follow-up to the band’s 2022 critically acclaimed full-length ‘Celebrity Therapist’ and 2023 EP ‘God Smiles Upon The Callous Daoboys’, nominated for ‘Best Heavy Record’ in the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM) Libera Awards 2024. In their most personal album yet, listeners are welcomed 300 years into the future to such a place where mankind’s farcical attempts at immortalizing greatness are on full display, including each of the 13 tracks on the album. However, such artifacts beg the question whether these were simply ahead of their time, or rightfully discarded by patrons?

Today’s glimpse inside reveals the first exhibit, “Two-Headed Trout/The Demon of Unreality Limping Like A Dog“, along with the official cinematic music video. When asked about the inspiration behind the forthcoming album, vocalist Carson Pace shared:

“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. It’s a known failure, but the narrative is ‘if it survives forever, is it truly a failure?’

“Everything is very singular and personal. 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 thirty, not ten years ago when I was seventeen. This is the snapshot of 24-27. A scrapbook of trial and error, or better yet, a Museum of Failure.”

Speaking about “Two-Headed Trout/The Demon of Unreality Limping Like A Dog”, Pace commented:

“We would like to proudly present our first preview of the ‘I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven’ collection, ahead of its full release. These two pieces do not represent a thesis or mission statement of the collection, but rather two extremities. If you’re a fan of us being a rock band, I have good news for you. If you’re a fan of us being a chaotic metalcore band, I have GREAT news for you. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy.”
