Kittie

Kittie is an all-female Canadian metal band that burst onto the scene in the late 1990s, known for their aggressive style and raw energy. Founded in 1996 by Mercedes Lander (drums) and Morgan Lander (vocals, guitar) when they were barely in their teens, the band first gained significant attention with their debut album "Spit," released in 1999, which was well-received for its ferocity and the hit single "Brackish." Over the years, Kittie's lineup has seen several changes, but the Lander sisters remained the core and driving force behind the band's creative direction and sound.

Throughout their career, Kittie has consistently evolved, both musically and personally, while maintaining their reputation as pioneers in the metal genre. Their discography demonstrates a journey through various shades of heavy music, exploring themes of betrayal, struggle, and empowerment. With albums like "Oracle" (2001), "Until the End" (2004), and "Funeral for Yesterday" (2007), they've showcased a prolific capability to mix heavy riffs with melodic introspection. The band's more recent releases, including "In The Black" (2009), "I've Failed You" (2011), and the comprehensive retrospective live album "Origins/Evolutions" (2018), reveal a group that has matured musically while reflecting on their substantial legacy within the metal community. Despite a hiatus from making new music, Kittie remains a beloved group among metal fans, a testament to their raw power and the footprint they've left on the genre.
