Last year, mathcore outfit The Callous Daoboys released what was one of the best albums of 2025 with I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven. It was wild, it was sonically interesting, and really set the band forward in a number of ways. Now it’s 2026 and they’re back on the grind, teasing a new song for the masses coming this Thursday.

Earlier today, the band took to Twitter to share a 19 second clip of the new single that — if the tweet is to be believed — is titled “Gigantic Parasite Tongue”. Don’t quote me on that, but it’s the only text that’s included with the snippet of the song. Well, that and the date 4/2, which is this Thursday.

As you’ll definitely hear below, this sounds like it’s going to be an absolute monster. I personally cannot wait to hear what they’ve got in store for us with this new track. Is it a new album? A new EP? Is this just a standalone single to release for the fuck of it? What about more tour dates? Will Carson Pace be my friend?

Only time will tell.

Drake is still holding grudges from 15 years ago. During Sunday’s Juno Awards, Drake appeared remotely, sending in a video to induct Nelly Furtado into the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame. During that speech, Drake paused all of his praise for. Furtado to hype his upcoming album Iceman — he’s still calling it that — and to take a stray shot at the London, Ontario rapper Shad.
