Dee Calhoun to Release Angry Old Man July 18; New Song Posted
Posted in Whathaveyou on May 22nd, 2025 by JJ KoczanMaryland acousti-metal singer-songwriter, author and vocalist Dee Calhoun — known for his work in Iron Man and Spiral Grave, among others, in addition to the solo material released under his own name or as “Screaming Mad Dee” — will release his new album, Angry Old Man, on July 18. The first single, “A Last Cold Kiss,” has been posted from the record, which continues Calhoun‘s penchant for hard strums and soaring vibrato. These are the root aspects of his particular take on blues and unplugged metal, and it’s interesting that he’s moved into producing himself as well as handling all the instruments. Past releases have featured Iron Man/Spiral Grave bandmate Louis Strachan on bass and Dee‘s son, Rob Calhoun, on vocals and percussion, as well as others.
Track follows the PR wire info below. You know how we do:

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 Wino , Neil Young , and Johnny Cash , while carving a deeply personal path all his own.
The full-length album ‘Angry Old Man’ drops July 18 , offering a potent mix of dark folk, haunting confessionals, and the swampy grit fans have come to expect from Calhoun’s solo work.
