Celebrity therapist

"Celebrity Therapist is quite possibly the most essential release in the worlds of post-hardcore, metalcore and whatever else you want to call it that we've had in the 2020s so far, if not for longer. It's a record that leaves a quick and lasting impression - whether that's through a lyric, riff, melody or even a joke - while also inviting listeners back time and time again to enjoy fresh and thrilling details on every listen. THE CALLOUS DAOBOYS have already been compared to some of the finest names our scene has ever produced, but here they graduate from any such easy comparisons and step into a world that feels wholly their own".

"Like The Dillinger Escape Plan and Every Time I Die before them, they don't so much play to their audience as at them. On Celebrity Therapist, they pinball wildly through their volatile mix of hardcore, tech-metal and (occasionally) rock'n'roll like a band trying to free their skeletons from their skins. Oh, and they've got a violin. They are quite, quite thrilling".

"Ærligt talt tog det måske fem-seks gennemlytninger før jeg overhovedet kunne danne en holdning til den. For Callous Daoboys er meget. Sådan, rigtig meget, og selvom der er mere Dillinger end Chat Pile i det, er det ikke helt ved siden af. Den jazzede metalcore mere end strejfes af noiserock flere steder og vi kommer vidt omkring i både stemninger og lydbilleder, men det der står tilbage er en ekstremt velsammensat plade, der går op og ned, men i virkeligheden understreger, hvad det er, albummet som format kan".
