KITTIE mark 25 years of Oracle with newly re-recorded anniversary tracks
KITTIE have released Oracle XXV, a two-track anniversary release marking 25 years since their second album Oracle arrived in 2001.
Out now via Sumerian Records, the release revisits two cuts from the Canadian metal outfit’s darker and more punishing early period: Mouthful of Poison XXV and What I Always Wanted XXV. The former arrives alongside a new video, giving one of Oracle’s most venomous tracks a modern visual counterpart.

A fresh take on a heavier chapter
Originally released after the breakthrough success of Spit, Oracle pushed KITTIE into harsher territory, with down-tuned guitars, heavier grooves and a more extreme edge to Morgan Lander’s vocals. The two new recordings revisit that shift in sound rather than simply reproducing the originals note for note.
The band said: “Revisiting and celebrating the 25th anniversary of our second album, with Oracle XXV, has been an absolute dream come true. Featuring a couple of our favourite re-recorded tracks, this offering brings the spirit of the original together with a fresh new energy. Much like our previous anniversary release, Spit XXV, it has been incredibly rewarding and exciting to see the past and present collide. We hope you love it as much as we do!”
Following the Spit XXV sessions
Oracle XXV follows 2025’s Spit XXV, which saw the band reunite with original producer Garth Richardson to record new versions of Brackish, Charlotte, Spit and Do You Think I’m A Whore?.
The release also lands after KITTIE’s 30th anniversary North American headline run, the Legacy Of Fire Tour, and continues the group’s return to recording following 2024 album Fire.
