July 10th, 2020 will see Dee Calhoun, voice of iconic doom titans, IRON MAN and SPIRAL GRAVE release his upcoming, third solo- album titled Godless. The haunting and dark, entirely acoustic affair, was recorded in Dee’s home studio, The DustBuster in Walkersville, MD. The mastering was done by Doug Benson in nearby Thurmont MD at the Commodore Recording Studios. Dee handled vocals, guitars and other various instruments, while Dee’s Iron Man and Spiral Grave bandmate, Louis Strachan, provided the bass tracks. Dee’s son Robert, “Little ‘Houn” Calhoun, appears on the record with percussion and backing vocals performances.
Today, Dee is presenting us a very special song taken from Godless, to the touching and system- critical track “No Justice“. “I wrote this song for the great Rev. Jim Forrester, who was bassist for Foghound and beloved by the Maryland Doom scene.“ Dee explains. “It was written on the day his murderer was acquitted, and all of us who loved Jim again felt betrayed by the system in this country. In recent days, that idea has taken on a much bigger scope. As we now sit and watch the response to injustice, we can only hope that steps are being taken to assure that there will be a change, and that betrayal, heartbreak, and death from this broken system can be eliminated.“
Just exclusively premiered with Outlaws of the Sun, you can now watch Dee Calhoun’s brand new video to “No Justice” here:
