Canadian metal band Kittie have announced “Oracle XXV”, a new collection of re-recorded songs from their second studio album, “Oracle”. The release is due on Friday, November 13, 2026, marking the original record’s 25th anniversary.

The band are also preparing a music video for the updated version of “Mouthful Of Poison”. According to the announcement, fans can unlock a preview of the clip by texting “Oracle XXV” to the promotional number provided by the band.

Originally released on November 12, 2001 through Artemis Records, “Oracle” followed the group’s breakthrough debut “Spit”. The record was made after the departure of co-founding guitarist and vocalist Fallon Bowman, with the band recording as a three-piece and Jeff Phillips subsequently joining on guitar for live performances.

Produced by Garth Richardson at EMAC Recording Studios, “Oracle” reached No. 57 on the US Billboard 200 and sold approximately 33,000 copies in its first week. It was also the only Kittie studio album featuring bassist Talena Atfield.

The announcement follows the band’s 2025 anniversary release “Spit XXV” and their return to active recording with the 2024 album “Fire”, their first collection of new material in 13 years. Kittie recently completed their Legacy Of Fire North American headline tour.

Further details and the promotional preview information are available in the announcement.
