OTEP – Hydra (2013) | new album!

The most impressive female metal singer and activist, Otep Shamaya released her new and final album. Darkest and deepest than ever.

“Hydra is a concept album based on a graphic novel I have been writing for two years about a girl corrupted by the world, corrugated by evil, ripped away from the golden, molten elixir of creativity, and abandoned on the placid, jagged rocks of a cruel and barbaric island where rats poison themselves. This is a story of her personal alchemy of theophagy, revenge and righteousness. Her rise from the smoldering ash as a bruise that never heals transmuting, therianthropic, to the infinite, still-born messiah, a vigilante serial assassin, code name: HYDRA. This will be my last album.”
~ Otep Shamaya

I wish our album was in EVERY STORE ACROSS THE GLOBE but SADLY the reality is that very few STORES will sell EXTREME MUSIC like MINE anymore. All we have left are specialty shops in a few cities that only sell 1 or 2 copies & digital stores like GOOGLE, AMAZON, & iTunes. TRUTH. –Otep Shamaya
