CATEGORY 7, the new heavy metal outfit boasting the all-star lineup of John Bush (Armored Saint, Anthrax), Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob, Sonic Universe, Noturnall), Phil Demmel (Machine Head, Kerry King, Vio-Lence), Jack Gibson (Exodus), and Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall, Overkill), will release their self-titled debut full-length on July 26th through Metal Blade Records.
With veteran musicians from so many legendary bands, it’s hard not to think of CATEGORY 7 as a supergroup. “I think we’re pretty super,” jokes guitarist Phil Demmel, who has earned mega-metal cred over the decades as a member of Machine Head, Vio-Lence, Kerry King, and has also played as a fill-in road guitarist for Slayer, Lamb of God, Overkill, and others. “Really, I feel like this is a band, not a side project. And I feel like we have written this incredible piece of music, and we’re not done. I’m so proud of the way this came together and the people who were involved. And I think we all feel super positive about this and what else we can do with it going forward.”
CATEGORY 7 has created an album that is fresh and familiar. The mixture of NWOBHM, thrash, punk-metal, and traditional metal is cohesive and sonically rewarding, establishing an eclectic musical backdrop for vocalist John Bush’s instantly identifiable vocals. At the same time, the diversity of styles creates its own template that’s ideal for headbanging, moshing, and voluble sing-alongs.
“It’s all about big verses and big songs, and it has a lot of the elements we’ve explored in our other bands,” explains guitarist and main songwriter Mike Orlando.
Take lead single, the upbeat album opener, “In Stitches,” which commences with piledriving double-bass drums, a feral thrash passage, and a fiery lead before toning down just enough for the distinctive vocals to stand out.
“It gets heavy, it’s thrashy at times, but it opens up in the verses, and then the double-bass drums come in and knock you off your chair, but in a great way,” Orlando says.
Bush further elaborates, “I read an article on an unhoused pregnant woman named Stitches who resided in Los Angeles obviously living a very difficult life that was compounded by mental illness and drug abuse. The encampment situation in my beloved city drives me bats. I balance between serious empathy and complete anger. The combination of imagining her life as well as my own internal turmoil led me to an almost humorous insanity state while writing this scathing album opener.”
Lyrics by John Bush
Music by Mike Orlando & Phil Demmel
When the truth is sought
I’m becoming more distraught
Wounds are re-opening
A daily dose of hustling - Hustle
Dig and scratch and claw
Oblivious to all
Human cockroach
Peddle in the streets
Filth upon my feet
Strongly advise, you think twice, to approach
Sudden stabbing pain
Fry - like Salem witches
My constant loss is not your gain
Think fast
I’ll have you in stitches
In stitches
In stitches
Forget all my past
Ruined by volcanic ash
Always scour every sore
Giving birth to even more - more
Dig and scratch and claw
People stand in awe
Human guinea pig
Peddle in the streets
Garbage there to eat
Strongly advise, don’t ignite, the powder keg
Sudden stabbing pain
Burn - like Salem witches
My decline is not your gain
It’s funny
I’ll have you in stitches

I'm 57 and cant believe this new music is being made and is so good ... long live metal
A nice treat for us 50 something’s still head banging before we move onwards!🤘🤘
Seriously. Took John Bush fkn legendary vocals to the next level. Might as well be the new Armored Saint ffks sake. I Love the those first 3 Armored Saint albums to death. But his voice never sounded better, it;s more produced, but hey, how many skated by on that, the core power is there, it's just the sugar on top. Not even really needed, but yeh, it's fkn nuts. Straight up one of the Goats imo.
I keep saying that every year the past few years and it just keeps coming!! The past year+ has been INSANE!! And so much more to come this year.
53 right there with ya. Stoked 🤘😈
Any band with John Bush is guaranteed to be good. Loved him in Anthrax, love him in Armored Saint, and he doesn't disappoint here, either. An absolute banger!🤘
Agreed, but Bitner is so fucking clutch
Ofcourse with Mike orlando the phenomena guitarist🤘🤘🤘
Agreed.
absolutely. i'm kind of blown away. i never knew of this project, it was a random click - though i an subbed to Metal Blade, and metaphorically "subbed" since the early 80's. One of my very top favorite singers, in a stunning band. ima AS freak, but besides those early days ...like 40 years ago, his voice sounds amazing, couldn't even imagine it could sound THAT good. The band is friking sick as hell. It's literally a gift, i'm stoked for the next premier.
I'm the opposite. Don't really care for his vocals, or any of the bands he's been in.
In this dark times the world needs more music from John Bush 🤘
🤘BUSH RULES!!!🤘
The man has lost NONE of his power!
100%
I remember getting Sound of White Noise as a Birthday present when I was a kid and I fell in love with that album.
@@FriendlyNeighborhoodUnclePete still anthrax's best album
@@FriendlyNeighborhoodUnclePetegotta say that’s an awesome birthday gift! You should re-thank whomever got that for you!
Bittner absolutely carries this song. What a beast.
kick ass. great drummers make bands.
Agreed. I'd love to see a drum cam for this video.
Brilliant drummer
Mike Orlando is a beast also!! One of the best!!
@@grumpycricketI’m getting to it😂
A classic case of "shut up and take my money".
Can't wait to hear more.
Simple solution, don't buy it then!
John Bush is the man!
Jesus christ I love Phil Demmel. Man deserves SO much of the stuff he's been doing. Amazing shredder. Mike Orlando is amazing too glad to see him again!!
John Bush is a legendary vocalist!
JOHN BUSH is fantastic
I love you, John Bush. THE VOICE, THE LEGEND. The man who, with his talent, strength and singing ability, adds a 1.000.000 points to each song or each band in which he participates. He can actually get water out of stones. If the world were a fair place, all bands featuring John Bush would have to fill stadiums on the planets Jupiter and Saturn.

All genius, all legends of rock. 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
Bush has been my favourite vocalist since I first heard him on Sound of White Noise. 😎
@@GarethAlan81 I also met John Bush through Anthrax's "Sound of White Noise" album, the same day I also heard Faith No More's "The Real Thing" for the first time, that was in 2011 through a co-worker. From that day on I never stopped listening to them. Greetings from Argentina, metalhead brother. A hug from a distance, a pleasure to talk to you.
@@marianosonico4394 That's awesome. Faith No More also rules. I'm in England. I get to see John Bush with Armored Saint in August. Can't wait. Take care brother! 🤘🏻😎
@garethalan81, just saw Armored Saint open for Queensryche, absolutely amazing.
@@glennmongold870 They are too good live.
John effin Bush is my favorite singer of all time and my biggest inspiration as a vocalist!
I always worry about super groups thinking they are gonna suck, but this is GREAT.
I've been a John Bush fan for 40 years. I absolutely love the fact that his vocal prowess has not diminished one bit in 4 decades!
Sir John of Bushshire! 😎
Yeah! Go Bush go!
Fucking Love John Bush.
He does not get the status he deserves!
All the other guys' talent and history stand on it's own, but getting John Bush on vocals automatically makes this rule.
John Bush is timeless. Fuckin timeless
I will admit at first glance I thought that was Gary Holt until I realized it was Phil😂 Anyway, this is sick 🤘🏻
Me too..
Same
Too much time hanging out with Kerry King! 😂🤘🏾
Same here
Same here…😂😂😂
Bush still kills vocals good to see Mike Orlando doing another project wish adrenaline mob could get back on track and ever since phil left machine head this dude is killing it everywhere and showing how much more he gives to music much respect
When I heard Bittner was the drummer, I IMMEDIATELY clicked on the video Great band 🤟
Holy shit!! The musical talent in this band is off the charts. That riff is sick and John Bush is still the best singer in metal. This is what the Bush led Anthrax should have sounded like. Amazing!! Can't wait to hear the rest of this album!!
Who doesn't love Bush!?
Joe Belladonna unfortunately bad blood
Me. Don't like him at all. I'd rather listen to Belladonna.
Phil Demmel has got to be the busiest guy in metal!
And I love it.
Rogga Johansson says hi
Great guitarist as well
Holy Fugg this is so GOOD!!!!! Love John Bush top tier vocalist.
YAAAAAS!!!!!!! John Bush!!!!!!! 🤟

SO GODDAMN GOOD!!!!!!!!! In Demmel we trust !!!!
John, Phil and Jack are some of my all time favorite musicians.
I did not expect this!!!
Yep, gonna have to buy this one.
What a lineup ! Amazing!
Well, this entire band is awesome obviously. But their biggest win BY A MILE is getting John Bush on board. I thought he had considered retiring! I can absolutely not believe how great his voice sounds
Great to see Mike Orlando recovered from the crash. We already know it’s Mike Orlando on guitars within the first few seconds.
Whoa! This is great! Love it…can’t wait for more!
Now, this is a super group!😁🤘

Unlike many many other bands that shot their video in, what seems to be the same lame old white room, this is actually awesome.
Been a fan of John Bush since ARMORED SAINT,met him with ANTHRAX and this also KICKS ASS
THANKS JOHN AND COMPANY 🤟
So weird seeing Bittner behind such a stripped down kit, but a fucking DRUM SOLO IN THE FIRST SINGLE!!!!! LETS FUCKING GO!!!!
This kit is the same size kit I use with shadows fall and overkill😂😂 just with hardware instead of a rack
@@jasonbittner You know what's crazy? I always pictured you with like 30 toms and a million cymbals. :O It's incredible the sounds you get out of a kit that size. The amount of times I've seen you play live and I never realized! I'm goofy! lol
@@KJF-ny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
