Category 7 – the new band vocalist John Bush (Armored Saint, ex-Anthrax), guitarists Mike Orlando (ex-Adrenaline Mob) and Phil Demmel (Kerry King, ex-Machine Head, ex-Vio-lence), bassist Jack Gibson (Exodus), and drummer Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall, ex-Overkill) – will hit the road for their first-ever tour come March 2025.
The fourteen-show trek commences on March 6 in Baltimore, MD and runs through March 23 in Atlanta, GA. Direct support on all shows will be provided by Exhorder (except Milwaukee) and Hand Of The Tribe on all dates, as well as Dead By Wednesday on the first four dates, and Engineered Society Project on the remainder of the tour, starting in Warrendale.
Commented vocalist John Bush: "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!"
Added guitarist Phil Demmel: "Batten down your hatches because the C7 tempest is about to touch ground in the US this March! We all are so thrilled to launch this band and bring our show through the states! See you in the eye of the storm!"
