Otep is back—finally! Led by riveting front-woman Otep Shamaya, OTEP has long been considered one of rock’s most extraordinary live experiences. Having completed work on The Ascension (the band’s 3rd and best album to date), the band fell victim to label corporate re-shufflings. Temporarily side-tracked, the band hit the road with Static-X while their business got worked out. Upon their return, having been courted by several Majors, the band decided to go Indy and sign with KOCH Records, putting them firmly in control of their own destiny.

Produced by Dave Fortman (Mudvayne, Evanescence), The Ascension is a “heavy duty masterpiece” as Harder Beat calls it. Fueled by songs like the powerful Nirvana cover “Breed,” “Invisible,” and “Confrontation,” The Ascension is sure to keep heavy fans across the country rocking out to OTEP’s unique sound.
