Canadian metal band Kittie have unveiled a new music video for their re-recorded version of “Mouthful Of Poison”, celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of their second album “Oracle”. The video was directed by William Felch.
The newly recorded track is one of two songs being released as “Oracle XXV” on November 13, 2026. The other is an updated version of “What I Always Wanted”, another song from the band’s 2001 album.
For the anniversary sessions, Kittie reunited with producer GGGarth Richardson, who also worked on the original “Oracle” album. The new recordings were mixed by Josh Wilbur, whose credits include projects with Lamb Of God and Korn.
The approach follows the band’s earlier “Spit XXV” release, which revisited material from their debut album. Rather than simply remastering existing tracks, the musicians have returned to the studio to reinterpret selected songs with their current experience and sound.
The band described revisiting “Oracle” as a rewarding experience, highlighting the chance to bring together the energy of their early recordings and their present-day musical perspective. The new “Mouthful Of Poison” video accompanies that celebration.
Formed in London, Ontario, in 1996, Kittie emerged during the rise of nu metal and quickly established themselves as one of the scene’s most distinctive groups. Their debut album “Spit”, released in 1999, featured songs such as “Brackish” and “Charlotte”, helping the band reach an international audience.
Their 2001 follow-up “Oracle” moved toward a heavier, more aggressive sound, drawing on groove metal and extreme metal influences. The album became an important part of the group’s early catalog and demonstrated their willingness to evolve beyond the style that initially brought them attention.
After periods of reduced activity, Kittie returned with the 2024 album “Fire”, reconnecting with longtime listeners while reaching a new generation of fans.
