Glass-ceiling-shattering original queens of metal, Kittie have shared the music video for their brand new single “We Are Shadows”, a powerful follow-up to their explosive comeback single “Eyes Wide Open” released in February via new label home, Sumerian Records.
The new track continues the band’s triumphant return offering a further look into their musical evolution after a 13-year hiatus. Watch the video below.
“We Are Shadows” speaks to the fading certainty in a world shrouded by looming challenges and increasing division. Both a reflection and a reckoning—a compelling narrative crafted with the band’s signature intensity and a profound lyrical depth.
“We Are Shadows is about the uncertainty of a future that we can no longer control. 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,” Kittie frontwoman and guitarist, Morgan Lander shares.
“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 the darkness take hold, and so we are resolved to fade in the night with it,” she adds.
“We Are Shadows” is now available across all digital streaming platforms, and listeners are invited to experience the commanding presence that Kittie – completed by co-founder and drummer, Mercedes Lander, guitarist Tara McLeod, and bassist Ivy Vujic – has long been celebrated for. As they continue to write their next chapter, Kittie cement their status as true metal icons, never pulling any punches whilst boldly exploring the depths of their artistry.
