October 30 also marks the start of the BALLS VOLUME STRENGTH Tour. OTEP will be performing alongside HELLYEAH and bloodsimple to support The_Ascension. The tour kicks off in Detroit, MI at The Fillmore and wraps up on December 7 at The Palladium in Worcester, MA.
With the release of The_Ascension, their third full-length outing, OTEP 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. In their career, OTEP have sold over 400,000 units.
