"Empires (Part 2)", a brand new song from the veteran all-girl Canadian metal outfit KITTIE, can be streamed below (courtesy of RevolverMag.com). The track comes off the band's sixth album, "I've Failed You", which will be released on August 30 via eOne Music. The CD was recorded at Beach Road Studios in Goderich, Ontario, Canada. The band once again worked with producer Siegfried "Siggy" Meier, who helmed KITTIE's last CD, 2009's "In The Black".
When asked what "Empires (Part 2)" is about, KITTIE guitarist/vocalist Morgan Lander told Revolver, ""Empires (Part 2)" is about the fall of something that at one time was considered great and indestructible. It likens a union, or relationship to the idea of a great empire, and as history has taught us, even the most mighty and powerful of empires crumble and fall eventually. Nothing is forever."
Regarding the song's relationship to the album's "Empires (Part 1)" , Morgan said, "Well, musically, "Empires (Part 1)" and "(Part 2)" are based around the same guitar chords and structure, and '(Part 1)' is more like a soft, acoustic introduction to the fury of the second part, much like a time of peace before unrest."
