As previously reported, German/American producer Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69, PRIMAL FEAR, SILENT FORCE) is mixing and mastering Resurrect The Insurgence. Bassist/songwriter and founding member Dustin Mitchell previously checked in with the following update:

"First things first, we finalized the vocal tracks around the beginning of December, and also brought in guest vocalists, Norman Skinner (SKINNER, TRAMONTANE, ex-IMAGIKA), Shane Provstgaard (SONIC PROPHECY), and John Yelland (SHADOWSEER, DISFORIA) to help with many of the backing vocals… a first for Katagory V! These guys were amazing and we want to officially thank them for delivering a brilliant performance in the studio! We officially wrapped up recording for the album in it's entirety in January, at which point we took a little time off before tracking down an individual that could tackle the mixing and mastering of our new album; We needed someone that would have and ear and understanding for the direction the band is currently taking.

This is also another first for Katagory V, as we have never handed over our music to anyone outside of the band, and we knew it was time to take another step forward and do something different. We already had in mind a few people that would be able to help with our vision for this new album, but one particular name kept coming up over and over, and that was Dennis Ward. We are proud to announce that Dennis has agreed to take on this challenge, and will be putting his amazing talents to use with our music. His abilities behind the board are without question, and are key to the path we are taking with Resurrect The Insurgence. After hearing some of the initial mixes, we are confident that he will help us deliver a high quality album that will easily overshadow anything we have done previously both musically and sonically."

Ward commented on his involvement with the project: "Mixing and Mastering the new Katagory V album has been a real pleasure. The new songs have a progressive touch along the lines of RUSH-meets-IRON MAIDEN; it also surprised me to hear some good ol' hard rock riffing! The band has done a great job self-recording/producing this latest offering, and I think this is the start of a new chapter for Katagory V. I am sure fans of all rock genres will enjoy this album."

The new album marks the recording debut of the new Katagory V lineup. It is as follows:

Dustin Mitchell - bass

Albert Rybka - vocals

Matthew "Bizzaro" LeFevre - drums

Marc Hanson - guitar

Kris Krompel - guitar
