Kittie Release Second Comeback Single “We Are Shadows”: Stream

Reunited Canadian metal outfit Kittie have dropped the new song “We Are Shadows,” their second single since returning from hiatus.

The band took our Heavy Song of the Week honors for the previous single, “Eyes Wide Open,” and “We Are Shadows” follows in the same vein of groovy thrash metal. The rhythms and staccato riffs are airtight and unrelenting, and frontwoman Morgan Lander takes a more melodic route vocally on this track, calling back to Kittie’s nu-metal heyday.

“‘We Are Shadows’ is about the uncertainty of a future that we can no longer control,” Lander explained in a press release. “We have come to a critical place in life and in our world, and much like an eclipse overtaking the sun, we are losing the light.”

She continued: “The image of shadows slowly fading in the evening darkness, and the analogy of ‘us’ as shadows in the night really illustrates the possibility of slowly fading into oblivion. It is not a song of hope however, it’s a song of coming to terms with the damage we do and acceptance of our fate. We’ve let darkness take hold, and so we are resolved to fade in the night with it.”

Kittie have a number of North American festival dates lined up for 2024 including Sick New World, Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple, and more.
