Spit XXV is the upcoming fifth extended play (EP) by Canadian heavy metal band Kittie. It is scheduled to be released on September 19, 2025, through Sumerian Records. Conceived to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band's debut album Spit (2000), the EP consists of re-recordings of four of the album's songs with Kittie's current lineup. The EP's recording saw Kittie reunite with Garth Richardson, who produced the original album in 1999.

Background and release

[edit]

In January 2000, Kittie released their debut album Spit through Ng and Artemis Records. The album was a commercial success, charting at number 79 on the US Billboard 200 chart and becoming certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[2] In a 2022 interview with MetalSucks, guitarist and vocalist Morgan Lander expressed interest in re-recording Spit for its 25th anniversary, to show how they would sound with the musicianship of their current lineup; she cited Taylor Swift's re-recorded albums campaign as an influence.[3] In a 2024 interview with Metal Hammer, Morgan said she could "neither confirm nor deny" plans to re-record the album but expressed continued interest in the idea.[4]

After posting teasers and compilations of old footage to their Instagram page, Kittie announced Spit XXV on August 20, 2025, and released the EP's title track as its lead single, accompanied by a music video directed by William Felch.[5][1] The EP's recording saw Kittie reunite with Garth Richardson, who produced the original album at EMAC Recording Studios in London, Ontario, in 1999.[5] The EP is scheduled to be released on September 19, 2025, through Sumerian Records.[5][1]
