Hi Dustin, great to see you back on board. There's a small discussion about the new album going on here: http://www.sacredmetal.de/board/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6849&hilit=katagory+v

I'm really excited, I love the new song "I Am Change", great melodies and thumbs up for Albert. Can't expect the release.

Thank you for the feed back, I am sure the other guys would love to hear that! Glad to hear you like the new song we might throw another one out there in the next few weeks.

I was pleasently suprised to see a discussion on this, I thought everyone had forgotten about us by now!
even thogugh the album is done (has been completed since march this year) I am Not sure when the album will be out yet... we are still trying to get licencing for it, but the way the music industry is now, it's been very difficult and uncertain.

Yours, Heiko

Today, the band has informed about another new song on theirs reverbnation page:

"Far Too Long", another brand new song from the progressive/power metal act
KATAGORY V can be streamed through the bands
ReverbNation page. The track will appear on the bands
upcoming fifth album, "Resurrect The Insurgence".

Comments bassist Dustin Mitchell: We know it has been rather quiet in the
KATAGORY V camp, and many have been wondering when the new album will be
released, but rest assured we are still fighting the good fight, and the new
album will be delivered in good time. However, it has been difficult to nail
down a release date in the current state of the industry with the constant
changes abound. Never the less, we are still alive!

A few months back we uploaded a new song from the upcoming album "Resurrect The
Insurgence", which was completed earlier this year with the help of producer
*Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69, ANGRA, PRIMAL FEAR)*, and felt it was time to throw
out another musical morsel from the new album out there for everyone to test drive.

Lyrically, "Far Too Long" Is about the ending of a very long relationship with
someone, the ripple effect that it causes, the expectations from those around
you, and the changes that need to be overcome. This song was written four years
ago, and only recently, became self-prophesying for myself, which I found to be
rather ironic.

Musically, this song is a very straight ahead, very melancholy track with a bit
of an AOR approach. *Dennis* and I joked that this would be our radio hit if
such a thing existed for the band, or in general these days, as it is by far the
most accessible song on the album. It has many of the classic *KATAGORY V*
progressive trademarks with the phrasings and structures, however with a lot
more emphasis on melody and hook. Once again, our influences are very apparent
here in this song and we are very proud of how this turned out. It musically and
emotionally compliments the lyrical content.

We picked this next song to show the fans another side of the band, as well as
the more melodic direction we are taking with the new album. We feel that the
production and performance of this song highlights the album as a whole. We hope
you enjoy it!
