Category 7 Reveal New Single "Mousetrap"

07/03/24 | [dcraley] | General News

Today, heavy metal supergroup CATEGORY 7 released the latest single from their forthcoming self-titled debut LP, which is due out July 26th via Metal Blade Records. The band features John Bush (Armored Saint, Anthrax), Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob), Phil Demmel (Machine Head, Vio-Lence), Jack Gibson (Exodus), and Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall, Overkill). At this point, they have only performed together when making music videos, like the one below for "Mousetrap."

Comments Bush, “The music for this one felt like a mysterious caper to me. I drew inspiration from The Three Musketeers where a police tactic was used to apprehend someone who went to the residence of a person who was previously arrested. The whole thing feels like a black and white movie with scenes of entrapment, interrogation, and a corrupt warden. Even though it feels like something old, it also feels like it could be applied to what is happening in our modern justice system. Round and round we go.”
