Dee Calhoun (aka Screaming Mad Dee) launches pre-save for haunting new single »A Last Cold Kiss« and announces upcoming album »Angry Old Man«!

Veteran doom metal vocalist and acclaimed solo artist Dee Calhoun – best known to fans as Screaming Mad Dee – emerges once again with a soul-crushing new single, »A Last Cold Kiss«, available May 16, 2025 on all major streaming platforms. The single serves as a harrowing preview of his upcoming solo album, »Angry Old Man«, set for release July 18th, 2025 via Black Doomba Records.

Pre-save »A Last Cold Kiss« HERE.

The pre-sale for the album goes live June 27 at this link: deecalhoun2.bandcamp.com.

Raw, reflective, and thunderously intimate, »A Last Cold Kiss« plunges listeners into the heart of Calhoun’s Americana acoustic doom sound – a dark, stripped-down landscape where sorrow meets storytelling. With resonant acoustic guitars and his unmistakably powerful vocals, Calhoun channels the spirit of Scott “Wino” Weinrich, Neil Young, and Johnny Cash, while carving a deeply personal path all his own.

The full-length album »Angry Old Man« will follow on July 18th, offering a potent mix of dark folk, haunting confessionals, and the swampy grit fans have come to expect from Calhoun’s solo work.
