Otep

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Infobox band Otep is an LA-based, female-fronted four-piece band. Witnessing a brief live performance impressed Sharon Osbourne enough for Otep to land a spot on Ozzfest before signing onto a label. Lead singer Otep Shamaya is one of the few frontwomen to apply death grunting. Otep's lyrics often involve discussions of pain and abuse. There is a very personal feeling to many of Otep's tracks due to the use of original poetry as the origin of many of the lyrics.
