Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head), Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob), John Bush (Armored Saint), Jason Bittner (Overkill), and Jack Gibson (Exodus) have joined forces for a new project called Category 7. The band’s debut album will be this summer via Metal Blade Records. The first single will arrive on May 2. Bush commented:
“Mike Orlando’s and Phil Demmel’s awesome riffs made writing lyrics over the music a piece of cake. The rhythm tandem of Bittner and Gibson rounded out the sound and the connection felt like it was put together in the stars. Obviously, everyone being a veteran of the metal scene made it that much easier.”
Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel added:
“Happy to welcome Category 7 into the Metal Blade family. Of course, some of them are already in! Seriously love working with this crew and it’s great stuff!”
