.
(Blabbermouth) Mike Meyer of the Illinois Entertainer recently conducted an interview with OTEP frontwoman Otep Shamaya. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:
On the fact that that most of OTEP's new CD, "The_Ascension", waves goodbye to metal music: "Alternative is what we do. We're the alternative. If there's anyone trying not to stay within genre limits or be defined by a specific idea, it is definitely our intention to do exactly that and not be considered a metal band. There's this bubble that metal lives in that is very restrictive and exclusive, even though it's now supposed to be the outlaw music. It's just a big frat club. I don't need any of that."[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
