With veteran musicians from such legendary bands as Anthrax, Armored Saint, Adrenaline Mob, Machine Head, Overkill, Exodus and Shadows Fall, it's hard not to think of Category 7 as a supergroup.
Phil Demmel explains: "I really feel like this is a band, not a side project. And I feel like we've written this incredible piece of music and we're not done yet. I'm so proud of the way this came together and the people who were involved in it. And I think we're all very positive about what we can do with it in the future."
The songs on the band's self-titled debut speak for themselves. As crushing and confrontational as an armed rebellion, as rhythmically thunderous as a storm with golf ball-sized hail, and as fiercely melodic as infectious riffs and aggressive vocals can be, Category 7 is a new kind of metal that lives up to its members' storied past. They are as heavy as a battleship, but their songs are carefully structured and skillfully balance thrash beats, New Wave of British Heavy Metal rhythms, punk metal attitude, fiery and wild double guitar work and devastating vocals.
