"Oracle" was originally released on November 12, 2001 via Artemis Records. KITTIE recorded the LP between July and August 2001 as a three-piece following the departure of co-founding guitarist and vocalist Fallon Bowman, who was replaced by touring guitarist Jeff Phillips, at EMAC Recording Studios with producer Garth Richardson. It was KITTIE's only album with bassist Talena Atfield, who left the band four months after its release.
"Oracle" entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at position No. 57, selling 33,000 copies in its first week of release.
KITTIE recently completed its first full North American headlining tour in over 10 years. The 16-date trek, dubbed "Legacy Of Fire Tour: 30 Years Of Kittie", celebrated three decades of uncompromising metal and marked a milestone moment for the band, honoring 30 years since KITTIE's formation in 1996 while riding the momentum of the band's recent triumphs, including 2024's critically acclaimed comeback album "Fire" and 2025's "Spit XXV" re-recorded and reimagined anniversary EP. Support on the tour came from KINGDOM OF GIANTS and GORE.
KITTIE bassist Ivana "Ivy" Jenkins sat out the "Legacy Of Fire Tour: 30 Years Of Kittie" tour due to a family commitment. Filling in for her was Rachel Gonzales of the Las Vegas band NEON KNIGHTS, who previously played with KITTIE on this year's ShipRocked cruise in February.
"Fire", KITTIE's first new material in 13 years, reached No. 13 on U.K. Rock & Metal Albums charts and No. 20 on Billboard Top Album Sales, while single "We Are Shadows" became the band's highest-charting song on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart at No. 20. The album earned the band a 2025 Juno Award nomination for "Metal/Hard Music Album Of The Year".
