RISE FROM THE DEAD, OTEP POST!
I've been listening to Otep for about a year...I must say that she has, far and away, one of the most frightening bands ever to grace my ears with gravel. Her voice is amazing, whether she's talking, screaming, growling or singing. Her lyrics haunt me (I can't even listen to Jonestown Tea anymore, and Menocide makes me feel uncomfortable), and the riffs are as hard hitting as any other metal band out there.
She's going to be at Ozzfest this year, and she is the MAIN reason I'm going! Hatebreed, Slipknot and Slayer are going to be there, too...but she was what put me over the edge! Jadey, I am so envious of you! I hope against hope that I can have even a moment's time to speak with her.
Edit: I forgot to mention: she has a DVD coming out in the middle of May, called "Abominations," that features three live tracks and three music videos. In July, her second full length album, "Book of Secrets" is coming out.
