Category 7 was put together in early 2023 as a result of the members "hanging out and tearing it up", with Bush and Demmel having collaborated earlier in Metal Allegiance.[1] The project was named "after the numerical designation for the most powerful wind storms" and "came together from a batch of musicians who strived to play music they loved and weren't hearing elsewhere, and wanted to do so with bandmates they enjoyed being with."[3]
Details of Category 7 were revealed on April 10, 2024, and it was reported that they had signed to Metal Blade Records.[1] On May 2, 2024, the band released "In Stitches" as the lead single off their upcoming self-titled debut album, released on July 26.[3] On July 2, 2024, the official music video was released for the single "Mousetrap".[4]
