London, Ontario's KITTIE are featured in a new video interview conducted by MetalMachine.net. Go to this location to check it out.
As previously reported, Kittie drummer / co-founder Mercedes Lander recently spoke with BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai about the band's new album, In The Black. An excerpt from the interview is available below:
In The Black heralds the return of vocalist Morgan Lander's growls, which took a back seat on Funeral For The Yesterday to the point that it falls just shy of being worthy of a place in Bif Naked’s catalogue. Her performance is much stronger this time out, dirty or clean, with her growls taking on multiple personalities as things play out. Mid-album track ‘Forgive And Forget’ is Morgan’s crowning glory for this outing, a multi-faceted metal anthem unlike anything she’s done before vocally.
“Morgan and I both write lyrics and melodies, but on this album I don’t think there was a whole lot of production on the vocals,” Mercedes offers. “What you’re hearing is Morgan’s raw voice. It’s not over-produced like on the last record, which has six million harmonies on every chorus. It made her sound like a fucking Chipmunk at the end of the day, which was ridiculous. On this album what Siggi wanted to do… his actual words were ‘Morgan is a diva so she needs to just sing.’ He just let her do what she wanted to do, they did a couple takes for each song and that was it. He didn’t fuck around with the vocals.”Go to this location for the complete interview.
