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
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🤘🤘🤘
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!
A classic case of "shut up and take my money".
Can't wait to hear more.
Simple solution, don't buy it then!
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😂
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!!
I always worry about super groups thinking they are gonna suck, but this is GREAT.
JOHN BUSH is fantastic
John Bush is the man!
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…😂😂😂
Fucking Love John Bush.
He does not get the status he deserves!
When I heard Bittner was the drummer, I IMMEDIATELY clicked on the video Great band 🤟
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
Sir John of Bushshire! 😎
All the other guys' talent and history stand on it's own, but getting John Bush on vocals automatically makes this rule.
I'm 57 and cant believe this new music is being made and is so good ... long live metal
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.

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.

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
This is fucking amazing
Need to order this NOW!!

I'm impressed with the musicianship, especially Jason. Does John's voice ever age? I can only name a very few who can still do it on that level from his era.
Sounds like metal to me. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
