Kittie have put out Mouthful of Poison XXV with a video, the second piece of Oracle XXV, which Sumerian Records releases today.
The record is a full re-recording of Oracle, the album the band made in 2001 at an age when most people are still deciding what they want to do. Spit XXV came first, from the album before it, so the band is working through its own early catalogue rather than treating one record as a one off.
Re-recordings usually happen for one of two reasons, and neither of them is artistic: the masters belong to somebody else, or the band sounds nothing like it did. With a record made by teenagers twenty five years ago, the second reason needs no explaining.
Morgan Lander still sings and plays guitar, Mercedes Lander still drums, and the two of them have been the constant through every version of this band since 1996.
