Kittie has finally announced their first new record in 13 years Fire, due out on June 21 via Sumerian Records. You can check out the new single "Vultures" alongside a music video filmed during band's main stage performance at this year's Sick New World festival.
"10 years ago, if someone would have told us that we would be releasing new Kittie music in 2024, we'd have dismissed them right away," said Kittie vocalist and guitarist Morgan Lander.
"It feels like something deeper than fate that's brought us together again, allowing us to create something fearless and magical for you. We've worked incredibly hard over the past year, and surrounded ourselves with the ultimate dream team to make this album a reality. We cannot wait for you to lose yourselves in the passion and strength of Fire."
"'Vultures' is a bold musical declaration, signalling our new beginnings as a band. 'Vultures' is a warning to those with hidden agendas, who thrive on deception. It's a proclamation of breaking free of the chains of exploitation and a reckoning for those who pick at the bones of those who suffer in silence."
Fire – which features the previously released singles "We Are Shadows" and "Eyes Wide Open" – is available for pre-order here. Kittie will play five exclusive North American shows this July and August, celebrating Fire alongside some classics and some not-often-played deep cuts. The shows feature a variety of openers, and you can get your tickets right here.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be headlining a handful of exclusive shows this summer in support of our forthcoming album," said Kittie of the shows. "Expect a celebration of new and old material alike, spanning our 25 year career thus far. We are looking forward to playing some set list staples and bringing back some songs that we haven't played live in decades! Although limited, look for more shows to be announced at a later date. We've missed you and we can't wait to see you again!"
