Posten on: 2008-10-22 10:21:42
OTEP have announced the addition of former AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE guitarist Karma Cheema and ex-SYNAPSE drummer Brian Wollf to the band. "We have been working almost every day of the week for the past two months - writing, reciting, summoning the dark arts of our sensuous sound from the most secret places in our hearts," OTEP frontwoman Otep Shamaya said in a statement. "Recording is set to begin in the next few months. "We are so excited to have this opportunity to bring our dreams to life. We thank each of you for your unending support and belief. It matters. We cannot wait to bring these songs to you on the road, in the clubs, in ceremony - stronger, stranger, and seductively devastating."

Otep Denies Rumors Of Being Dropped By Capitol Records
Posten on: 2008-10-22 10:21:42
OTEP frontwoman Otep Shamaya has issued another statement in response to the persistent rumors that the band has been dropped by Capitol Records as a result of the recently announced merger of Capitol and Virgin Records into the Capitol Music Group. OTEP's third full-length album, "The_ Ascension", was previously scheduled for release on March 20. The CD was recorded in New Orleans over the course of several months with Grammy-winning producer Dave Fortman (EVANESCENCE, MUDVAYNE). Commented Shamaya: "It is true Capitol is going through a very intense reorganization at this time. To the question: Are we dropped? No official word has come down to us. Would it matter? Not really. The matrix of this band is titanium strong. With myself, eViL j, our management, lawyers, pencil pushers, finger pointers, and other assorted suits, sages, soldiers, PLUS our fans and supporters — this collective is ready to walk through Vesuvius without breaking a sweat. "The only thing that truly 'sucks' about this reorganization is the delay of the album which is inevitable. Could be a week, could be a month — but it's going to be delayed. I know, I know but think how we feel. I started writing songs for this album on a plane while flying to our first show on Ozzfest 2004 — so imagine how frustrating this for us. Over two years of my life poured into an album that sits in a frozen stasis waiting for paperwork and emails and Excel and PDF files to be reviewed and stamped in boardrooms somewhere high above the smog and kinetic violence that spirits the frenzied climaxes that nourish me. What a world. "The STATIC-X tour is going to be INSANE. You think our shows have been insane in the past?? Ha. Nothing can prepare you for what we are about to unleash. "We can't wait to enter the ritual with all of you again. We are thankful for such insane, passionate supporters."
