Kittie

Kittie is a pioneering Canadian metal band that shattered expectations when they burst onto the scene in 1999 with ‘Spit’, a gothic/nu-metal oriented album that cemented their place as pioneers of female-driven heavy music. Formed by sisters Morgan and Mercedes Lander, Kittie quickly gained a loyal following with their raw energy and fierce attitude. Subsequent albums (‘Oracle’, ‘Until the End’, ‘Funeral for Yesterday’) were influenced by Slayer and Metallica-style thrash and all broke into the US Indie Top 10. Despite their early success, the band faced challenges, including line-up changes, industry struggles and the tragic loss of former bassist Trish Doan in 2017. After a lengthy hiatus, Kittie roared back to life, proving their resilience and passion were stronger than ever. Their 2024 album ‘Fire’ is a triumphant return to form, blending their signature heaviness with new-found intensity. #GMM25
