Category 7, the fledgling supergroup comprised of numerous metal veterans, have just put out their third single, “Mousetrap“. Tom Flynn & Mike Watts split the directorial duties for this clip, with vocalist John Bush having the following to say of the lyrical inspiration for the track:
“The music for this one felt like a mysterious caper to me. I drew inspiration from The Three Musketeers where a police tactic was used to apprehend someone who went to the residence of a person who was previously arrested.
The whole thing feels like a black and white movie with scenes of entrapment, interrogation, and a corrupt warden. Even though it feels like something old, it also feels like it could be applied to what is happening in our modern justice system. Round and round we go.”
The group are ramping up to the forthcoming July 26th release of their self-titled debut album through Metal Blade Records.
