Kittie<\/a> <\/strong>is set to release their first new record since 2011, named Fire<\/em>, sometime later this year via Sumerian Records. But what made Kittie<\/a><\/strong> not only wanna come back for some shows, but make a whole new record? According to Kittie<\/a><\/strong> vocalist Morgan Lander<\/strong> in an interview with Metal Hammer<\/a><\/em>, it’s just perfect timing.<\/p>\n “I just think that the world is ready for us now,” said Lander<\/strong>. “A lot of the things that we were doing 25 years ago were still\u2026 I don’t want to say controversial, but they seemed so new. It definitely has a lot to do with a shift in thinking and acceptance and representation in the years since the very first time that Kittie<\/a><\/strong> came out. Sometimes it just takes the world a bit of time to catch up and appreciate those things.”<\/p>\n Which makes sense considering all the n\u00fc-stalgia and the new wave of n\u00fc-metal in recent years. Lander<\/strong> also touched on Kittie<\/a><\/strong>‘s end, saying the band stopped gaining footing and even had some abysmally-attended shows.<\/p>\n “I think the best way to describe it is we just sort of overstayed our welcome. We were doing a lot of headlining shows, constantly touring, and never really seemed to gain much footing or interest.”<\/p>\n She added: “There were some nights on some of those tours in the very last few years where 50 people would show up to a show. That’s a hard thing as an artist to grapple with. I do remember having conversations where it was like, ‘I don’t feel like I can do this anymore. I need to try new things.'”<\/p>\n
