Oracle XXV arrives on 13 November, with ‘Mouthful Of Poison XXV’ leading the preview campaign.
Kittie are revisiting their second album with Oracle XXV, a collection of re-recorded songs from 2001’s Oracle scheduled for Friday, 13 November, as Blabbermouth reported on 9 November.
The band’s official announcement confirms the release date and offers fans an advance look at the ‘Mouthful Of Poison XXV’ music video through a text-message promotion. An official pre-save is available through Sumerian.
The release follows 2025’s Spit XXV, which revisited material from Kittie’s debut, and their 2024 album Fire, their first studio album in 13 years. The anniversary recordings sit alongside that return to new music, rather than replacing it.
Sumerian’s release listing shows that Spit XXV revisited four selected songs: ‘Spit’, ‘Do You Think I’m A Whore?’, ‘Brackish’ and ‘Charlotte’. It was a focused EP, rather than a new recording of the whole debut. That precedent makes the selection for Oracle XXV worth watching, with a complete tracklist still to be confirmed.
For Spit XXV, the band wanted to capture how the songs had evolved onstage. Speaking to Kerrang! in September 2025, drummer Mercedes Lander said “we wanted to record the versions of these songs that we actually play live”. Morgan Lander also described the recordings as a reflection of the musicians’ development since their teens.
The original Oracle was recorded at EMAC Studios in London, Ontario with producer GGGarth Richardson. Its original booklet credits a three-piece line-up: Morgan Lander on vocals, guitars and piano, Mercedes Lander on drums and Talena Atfield on bass.
Those credits document the original sessions, not the personnel or production team behind Oracle XXV. The confirmed preview is ‘Mouthful Of Poison XXV’; the new recordings arrive on 13 November, when listeners can hear how the band have approached that early material.
