Those naughty, noisy girls Kittie return to these shores at the weekend and this time they’ve got a similarly loud bunch in tow.
It Dies Today caused quite a stir with their 2009 release for Trustkill Records – Lividity. And now they’re hoping to make a bit of a din by delivering live the choice cuts from that brutal record.
The band members might only be in their early 20s but with three thumping albums under their belts and slots touring on Ozzfest and with the likes of Machine Head and Bleeding Through it’s pretty damn clear they mean business.
Singer Jason Wood said: “We’re really pumped about this new record! Lividity is a medical term (as I am a huge fan of CSI) that means when you die all the blood in your body settles. So where you’re lying is a bruise covering that part of your body.
“Metaphorically, for example, it’s someone who’s life is very stagnant or unmotivated. The common theme of the record is going to be character flaws such as the song Nihility, about nihilism, or absolute destructiveness.
“We’re writing a lot more Caitiff Choir-like riffs and we’ve worked up a more raw and ballsy atmosphere for this record. Expect sincerity, passion, and FUCKING POWER!”
We will. And we’ll expect it right here:
