U.S. TOUR SUPPORTING ARM'S LENGTH KICKS OFF THIS MONTH; EU/UK DATES ON DECK
Alternative metal collective The Callous Daoboys return with a blazing new single, “Gigantic Parasite Tongue.” 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.”
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.
The Callous Daoboys will be touring throughout the year, beginning with a North American tour with Arm’s Length, kicking off in Ottawa on April 21st. The band then heads to Europe for summer headlining and festival dates, followed by support dates with Enter Shikari this fall. Full dates are below.
