For their new album, OTEP called on Dave Fortman (Mudvayne, Evanescence) to produce, and also enlisted Grammy-nominated guitarist Greg Tribbett (Mudvayne and HELLYEAH) to co-write three songs. To date, OTEP has sold over 400,000 units.
With the release of The_Ascension, their third full-length outing, the band challenged themselves to avoid clich�s and classifications and find a new landscape of sound and vision. On The_Ascension Otep is both inciteful and insightful, with songs ranging from the aggro call to arms of "Confrontation" to the vulnerable 'Perfectly Flawed.' The_Ascension is infused with a meticulous care to detail, the CD's 13 songs both free and freeing for the listener and the band. Otep's new blog is located - here
