KATAGORY V In Writing Mode

May 19, 2008

Utah-based progressive/power metallers KATAGORY V are currently writing material for the follow-up to 2007's "Hymns of Dissension". Bassist Dustin Mitchell states, "We've been very busy the last few months compiling ideas and working out song arrangements for album #5. And thus far, it would be safe to say we are now 80% complete with the writing process for the next album.

"Curtis [Morrell, guitar], Matt [Suiter, drums] and I have been very diligent in writing and orchestrating new material since January, and if all goes well, we should be hitting the studio at the end of the year to start tracking the next album! We are very excited about what ideas that are coming out, and we feel this could be our most versatile album yet. All that we need to do now is to work out some of the guitar melodies and vocals parts and it will be time to move into the pre-production phase, and that leads me to the next little tidbit that I'm sure everyone wants to know

"With a new album nearly written, I'm sure there is still a bigger question at hand among our fans what about a new singer and guitarist? Is there anyone? If so, who are they!? At this moment, we know who the new vocalist of KATAGORY V will be and we are currently working with a guitarist right now who we feel might fit best. Once we have had some time to work with them a bit more, their identities will be revealed in a few more weeks, so hang tight! An official announcement concerning these two very talented gentlemen is not far away!"

KATAGORY V announced in January that lead vocalist Lynn Allers and guitarist Marc Hanson were no longer in the band.

The group's most recent album, "Hymns of Dissension", was released in September in Europe through Burning Star Records and in October in the U.S. on Nightmare Records.
