Much of the band’s new CD has already been recorded in Los Angeles and the balance will be completed later this year for release on Spider One’s Megatronic Records. Says Spider One about the new CD: "Well, let's just say if you like calculated, bloated Hoobastank ballads or radio friendly nu metal or over produced, auto-tuned, cookie cutter rock, then you will hate the new Powerman 5000 record. Now, I'm NOT going to say the standard bullshit like, 'this is our heaviest, most brutal record yet.' That's so boring and predictable. Not to mention, not true. I will say that this record is raw and real. My goal on this one is to put together a bunch of songs that are meant to be played live. The kind of songs you could jam on with your friends in a garage band. I don't know, it is what it is. Rock 'n Roll, punk rock, metal, whatever...it's PM5K. I'm digging it!!!"

With this in our backs we can jump right into the making of our next album. We imagine to do something without stylistic changes but with a wider range of sound. After the good experiences with Victor's latest solo album we want to get the Whiterussian Symphonic Orchestra involved, similar to what we did a couple of years ago on "Lingua Mortis." This time the result will be a lot harder. That's how the new songs sound we recently wrote in first rehearsals. They blend in perfectly with our latest releases."...

It was one of the best shows we had played in 2003, and quite possibly the best show we have done .... ever, hands down! We decided while we are wrapping up the loose ends on the new album, that we'd have some of the home video stuff we had lying around put together as a short video for the fans in the meantime, especially those that have never seen Katagory V live before. It's very entertaining and I got a real kick out of it myself, it's worth the time to download for sure! We took two hours of live stuff and goofing off, and chopped it down to 5 minutes for your downloading pleasure. Maybe one day you might see a lot more or even the whole show on a DVD... but that will be much farther down the road, so for now, check it out and send it to other Kat 5 fans and your friends.... we put this together special, just for all of you out there!"
