On this day in 2000, Kittie unleashed Spit — a raw, aggressive debut that helped define the nu-metal era and opened doors for countless heavy bands to follow.

Still hits just as hard today.

🗓️ ON THIS DAY IN METAL 🗓️ Kittie released their debut album, Spit. 🖤 The band have certainly made more accomplished albums than this first release. They’ve written albums that are heavier and others that are more melodic, but they’ve never matched Spit's raw exuberance and level of teenage angst. Rightly or wrongly, this remains the iconic sound of the band for many people. It was certainly one of the most explosive introductions of the nu metal era, with a huge anthem of female empowerment in Brackish and a latent sense of heaviness that would soon come bursting out. What do you think of this album?
