Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal on behalf of Metal Assault caught up with KITTIE drummer Mercedes Lander at the Grove of Anaheim.

She talked about being the heaviest band on their current tour, winning over new fans and the variety of tours they've done this year. She also talked about a whole bunch of other things like the Thrash and Burn tour, the new music video and childhood influences, among other things.

Check out the interview below:

Kittie recently premiered their new video, for the song 'Die My Darling' - the third single from their most recent album, In The Black. Check it out below. Veteran Canadian director John Barber directed the video.

"We had the most fun we have ever had filming this video. There are cars babes and beatings involved, and it is unlike anything we have ever done before. We can't wait for everyone to see it!", says front woman Morgan Lander.
