NEWS: Kittie lurk in the shadows…

What are the chances of Kittie being announced as part of the Sumerian Records Summer Slaughter Tour when it gets back underway? It certainly seems a distinct possibility, as does the Brand Of Sacrifice with “Destiny” by the Canadian Deathcore heavy hitters part of the soundtrack to the announcement of the return of the infamous US and Canadian run. A second single from the reunited Kittie has premiered in “We Are Shadows” which was recorded in the same sessions with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Korn) as its predecessor “Eyes Wide Open“, both coming without mention of a new album. Perhaps Sumerian Records are doing what Metal Blade Records have done with Daath and testing the water with a few singles first before the big reveal…

Vocalist and guitarist Morgan Lander comments: “‘We Are Shadows’ is about the uncertainty of a future that we can no longer control. We have come to a critical place in life and in our world, and much like an eclipse over taking the sun, we are losing the light. The image of shadows slowly fading in the evening darkness, and the analogy of ‘us’ as shadows in the night really illustrates the possibility of slowly fading into oblivion. It is not a song of hope however, it’s a song of coming to terms with the damage we do and acceptance of our fate. We’ve let darkness take hold, and so we are resolved to fade in the night with it.”
