ORACLE
Kittie
(Artemis / Sony)
It's so tempting to lump Ontario's Kittie with other teen-girl rockers like The Runaways and The Donnas. And so wrong. With their 1999 debut Spit, these gals showed they were tonnes heavier than any gal group -- and most guy groups -- on the planet. Now, with their sophomore CD Oracle, they've proved they're also infinitely more creative and talented. All those Ozzfest tours have honed Kittie's chops to razor-sharp deadliness, and they unleash them to devastating effect on these 11 cuts. Steering away from the nu-metal and rap-rock they flirted with on Spit, the gals weld grinding guitars, blowtorch-siren vocals and pulverizing syncopation into a solid wall of Sabbathy sludge so ridiculously heavy it makes Swedish death metal seem like Enya. Plus they flex their classic-rock muscles with a stunning cover of Pink Floyd's Run Like Hell. With Oracle, Kittie are girls no longer. They are women. Hear them roar. (More on: Kittie).
