LA alternative metal activists Otep are hitting Australia this April.
Lead by artist, activist & intellectual loudmouth Otep Shamaya, Otep have been producing their own brand of uncompromising alternative metal since the later half of 2000. Showcasing a fearless passion for justice & the preservation of the arts, Otep create uncompromising soundscapes with heart and substance, not content to merely produce music that in itself is revolutionary, but art that has the ability to promote real change.
Named Otep after their wild singer, the band quickly scored a deal with Capitol solely on the strength of their live show. After releasing the Jihad EP the following year, rumors of cannibalism and dabbling in the mystical arts began to appear in local press and added to the band’s already mysterious image and drew praise from the likes of Marilyn Manson who was enamoured by their wild antics.
Now on her sixth studio album Otep Shamaya is the only remaining original member and is now signed to Victory Records, where she has continued under the band name Otep and releasing albums.
Bringing her wild antics to Australia, Otep and KillRockStar Big Dog Entertainment have kindly offered us 2 x double passes to give away every show on the tour:
