Listen to Kittie’s first new single in 13 years, Eyes Wide Open

Canadian metal icons Kittie are back with their first new music in 13 years.

The quartet – vocalist/guitarist Morgan Lander, drummer Mercedes Lander, guitarist Tara McLeod and bassist Ivy Vujic – have unleashed a crushing new song called Eyes Wide Open, as well as announcing that they’ve signed to Sumerian Records.

“Our first new material in 13 years, Eyes Wide Open, is a vision quest for truth,” explains Morgan. “It is a torch lit in the darkness of ignorance to reveal one’s true motives. Eyes Wide Open is a lesson in trust, betrayal, and ultimately the ability to see behind the curtain to reveal all. It was one of the first songs we wrote, coming together again after a long time away from creating, and I think you can really hear the fires reigniting in this track.”

Of signing to Sumerian, the singer adds: “Sometimes, incredible opportunities present themselves in surprising ways. Just a few years ago we could have never imagined we would be getting ready to release new music as Kittie. We’ve been given what feels like a second life and are grateful to Ash and the Sumerian family for believing in us.”
