KATAGORY V: New Demo Clips Posted Online

March 10, 2007

Utah-based progressive/power metallers KATAGORY V are putting the finishing touches on their fourth album, "Hymns of Dissension".

"We are seeing light at the end of the tunnel!" comments bassist Dustin Mitchell, "We are now about 3/4 complete with recording. All the basic tracks (drums, bass, guitar rhythms) were recorded live over the course of the last three weeks. We are now recording vocals, guitar leads, and a few minor other parts. So far, the theory of recording live worked out far better than expected; what normally would take us four months only took three weeks! Not only that, the energy level is over the top, and the production and sound is huge! It looks like we'll keep this method of practice in the studio, It is more economical and sound, literally. Not to mention, this is the first time I can remember where we are actually having FUN making an album since we first formed the band. The overall moral and commitment within the band has been the best I can remember"

"Concerning the release date for the new album, we already know the target date that both the band and labels want, but we can't officially say what it is right now until we have things 100% finalized, but it will definitely be sometime this fall. However, there are a few other details concerning the new album that we will make public in the next few weeks, such as the track listing details, the official release dates, as well as the artist creating the cover art for the album, so stay tuned!"

In the mean time, KATAGORY V has posted demo versions of three new songs that will appear on "Hymns of Dissension". These three 30-second clips are available on the band's official web site.
