Kittie drummer 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.
“I think it’s a case of nobody ever heard the music like that,” Mercedes says of Kitie's “new” metal sound. “I think this is the first time we’ve had really good production on an album. I’m not saying we spent a whole lot of time worrying about that, because it only took us three weeks, but I think this is the first time we hooked up with a really good producer that knows metal. The guy who did the record, Siegfried Meier, was third engineer on the Oracle album, which is the only other record that I like (laughs). Point being that this is the first producer we’ve worked with that knows metal and knows what we want to sound like. He said he could do that for us and he did. This is the first album that we’ve recorded that I’m totally happy with.”Go to this location for the complete interview.
