{"product_id":"kittie-oracle-clear-red","title":"Kittie - Oracle [Clear Red]","description":"\u003cp\u003eKittie's Oracle comes back on clear red vinyl, and it remains the heaviest, angriest swing the Canadian band ever took.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe follow-up to their breakout debut Spit arrived in 2001 with the lineup pared down to a trio. Guitarist Fallon Bowman had departed before the sessions, so Morgan Lander handled every guitar part on top of her vocals, with sister Mercedes Lander on drums and Talena Atfield on bass. Producer Garth Richardson recorded them in their hometown of London, Ontario, and the band sounds determined to outgrow the nu metal tag that followed them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOracle pushes hard toward death and thrash metal, with chopping riffs, pounding double bass drums and sudden shifts in time. Morgan swings between guttural growls, raw screams and clean singing, often to startling effect. The short title track kicks the door in, Mouthful of Poison keeps the pressure on, and In Winter opens up a darker, more gothic mood. A heavy take on Pink Floyd's Run Like Hell shows their taste runs deeper than many expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe record closes with the sprawling Pink Lemonade, which runs past the ten minute mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty-five years on, Oracle stands as proof that Kittie were one of the toughest metal bands of their era, and this colored pressing gives it the spotlight it deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269569454385,"sku":"634164681012","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Kittie-Oracle_Clear_Red.jpg?v=1793641422","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/kittie-oracle-clear-red","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
