Atlanta’s genre-bending sextet, The Callous Daoboys, are extending a VIP invitation to The Museum of Failure, a sonic installation unveiling their highly anticipated album, I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven. It’s set for release on the 16th May via MNRK Heavy, this ambitious follow-up to 2022’s Celebrity Therapist and last year’s God Smiles Upon The Callous Daoboys promises a deep dive into the band’s most intimate and experimental work to date.

The album transports listeners 300 years into the future, to a space where humanity’s absurd and often tragic attempts to immortalise its own legacy are laid bare. With 13 tracks that sprawl and contort through time, I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven raises a chilling question: Were these fleeting efforts of greatness truly ahead of their time—or are they artifacts unceremoniously discarded by an indifferent public? The Daoboys push forward, blending chaos and reflection, offering a provocative, unapologetic vision of what it means to create in a world that is forever changing—and perhaps, forever indifferent. 

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.”
