The APEX PREDATOR video is UNCUT & UNCENSORED! It might even get banned in a few places for it’s sexual & violent content. But the message is important. Challenging phobias & hypocrisies & delighting the vices in your mind!
And so it is. Feb 25th! BE READY! ♥ OTEP

Notes"HYDRA was conceived from a graphic novel I’ve been writing but also the producer Ulrich Wild and my guitarist Aristotle and I all set out to accomplish 3 things sonically for this album. Number one, build a sense of nostalgia from the architecture of the earlier albums. Number two, allow ourselves to be brave and intrepid as we write new music with newer influences. And number three, blend these two things seamlessly into something that is at once sacred and ancient but also modern with the zest of something completely new. I think we, as spiritual and creative archeologists, uncovered and excavated something very deep and meaningful. A treasure of immeasurable wealth in the form of this album." -

NotesThis was 2nd appearance on HBO’s Def Poetry. The title of the poem is DEDICATED TO MY ENEMY.
After the first few lines there were some giggles in the audience. The subject matter made them uncomfortable. But after I introduced them to my experience, the physical nature of the performance, we were all locked together in the coil of spiritual intercourse. -

Notes
“Labels are for soup cans and boner pills. Our music is aggressive, it’s poetic, it’s political, it’s dark & liberating. Our roots are in rock & jazz, layered with bits of metal, punk & hip-hop. I don’t know what you call that — music? I prefer the term “ARTCORE.” It denotes intention, not sound.”

Notes"Barren and jagged. Warring hoards of barbarians camped about in the distance. The smell of blood and fire choke the air. A sky littered with stars arches overhead. Relics of war burn on the mountaintops and in the deep valleys a few lonely souls search the burning sands for treasure. Monks sing mantras in the fortress towers built into the few remaining cropping of forest. And in the center, carving a long scar of victory, marches a battle-scarred tribe carrying a crimson banner that reads OTEP. Fountains of fire spring forth from the painted mouths of these shaman warriors that curl into words forming a secret poem that will burn for eternity."My answer to the question from After Ellen: What’s the metal landscape like these days?

NotesThere’s this moment in CRUSH, right before the outro detonates, when u realize that the title is not just about HYDRA having a CRUSH but it’s also how she kills her CRUSH. This song gave me chills when I wrote it. Powerfully dark stuff here. ♥
LISTEN ………LOUD!
- If you like the song please support the arts by purchasing it HERE. Thanks.
