Metal supergroup Category 7, featuring John Bush (Armored Saint, Anthrax), Phil Demmel (Kerry King, Machine Head), Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob), Jack Gibson (Exodus), and Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall, Overkill), have announced their debut U.S. tour in support of their self-titled album, released in July via Metal Blade Records. The trek is scheduled to kick off on March 6, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland, and concludes on March 23rd in Atlanta, GA. Support comes from Exhorder (except for Milwaukee), with additional support will come from Hand Of The Tribe (all dates), Dead By Wednesday (first four shows), and and Engineered Society Project (from Warrendale, PA onward). Tickets are available at this location.
John Bush comments:
“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!”
Phil Demmel adds:
“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!”
