.::. OTEP .::.

3 musicians, 1 poet -- los angeles, kali-fornia savage riffs -- double bass -- poetry -- emotion -- integrity it began with a vision, a voice, & a poet. the year was 2000, the dawning of a new millennium - it was the season of anti-reason & the fall equinox had just begun. together with the philosopher xenophon, an alliance was formed, deep in the chaotic kingdom of the west, that would secure the rising of a new empire of sound. secret rites were held, experiments in mental alchemy & wurd sorcery were introduced -- & soon 3 musical magi - rob, moke, eViL j - hurd the holy wurd & devoted their gifts to the sacred circle -- the eternal serpent once again slithered from the void, emptied its mouth of venom, & swallowed its furious tail. the collective called OTEP was finally given life ... their first mission was to conquer the city-state of los angeles - and conquer they did. earning a spot on ozzfest 2001 without a record deal - they then signed to a major label without a demo - achieving this strictly from the power, passion, & brutality of their live show. in september 2001, they wrote their debut album SEVAS TRA - in october 2001, they recorded the album with famed producer Terry Date in seattle, wa - in november 2001, they returned to los angeles to begin perfecting their warcraft for the impending worldwide infection. their philosophy is "solve et coagula" ... destroy to create ... please post messages to otep on the community board--the best way to get a response, as otep frequently checks threads and makes posts herself. thank you. otep - vox evil j - bass rob - guitar moke - drums

Wokalnie zroznicowana w krzyki, czyste melodie towarzy- szace szeptom, growle i gardlo wydobywajace nieziemskie ryki.
