Category 7 have announced dates for their first-ever U.S. tour, in support of their self-titled debut album, which dropped this past July. For those unfamiliar, the thrash metal supergroup features the following lineup:
- Vocals: John Bush (Armored Saint, ex-Anthrax)
- Guitars: Mike Orlando (ex-Adrenaline Mob)
- Guitars: Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head/Vio-lence, Kerry King)
- Bass: Jack Gibson (Exodus)
- Drums: Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall/Overkill)
Exhorder and Hand Of The Tribe will provide support for the entire tour, while Dead By Wednesday and Engineered Society Project will join for select dates.
Bush shared the following thoughts on the upcoming tour:
“Looking forward to Category 7 blowing off the roofs of some venues on the East Coast and Midwest in March of 2025. This will be the first time the band will be playing live so come and check out some killer musicianship. Playing songs from the debut record should be fun. See ya there!”
Demmel added:
“Batten down your hatches because the C7 tempest is about to touch ground in the US this March! We are all so thrilled to launch this band and bring our show through the states! See you in the eye of the storm!”
