Influences
.....the first clinch of orgasm. the first shriek of birth. a breeze after armageddon. fist and bone. outlaws, outcasts, forsaken, fragile, empowered. the last nail on the cross. ascension, redemption. a heart breaking at the sight of unimaginable beauty. the yawp of endless hunger. a brush on canvas. a pen on paper. the hopes of countless souls burning, yearning for emancipation.
"Our music is formed from the marrow of creative intercourse. Art for art's sake. Indeed. And just as Artaud taught: our music is a protest against the senseless constraints that reduce "culture" into an inconceivable Pantheon of humdrum, ineffectual lesser gods and puppets of sterility & puritanism. In antiquity, the Theatre was created as an outlet for all of life's repressions and to proclaim to one and all that life's intensity is still intact. Just as light is born from the burning flame, we must fight for the glow. But we warn you, this music, our message, and these lessons are not for every soul. Some will be devoured. Others reborn. Remember, do not slide into bed with the Devil unless you intend to fuck."
-- Otep Shamaya

Greetings!. I wanted to tell you to check my blog/journal's last entry. It is a real Tribute to Otep, to you guys, but unfinished, as I am still working on it.
I hope you enjoy, cause you have given to me A LOT, through these years. Otep has grown as part of my skin and I am very grateful for that.

Just wanted to let you know how inspiring your words are....of course they mean something different and personal to me (that is why it is art) but I guess I just wanted to say Thank you for sharing your voice with us! I am a single mother of three daughters and I have turned them on to your music. I get so excited when there are strong women with a REAL voice! Keep up the amazing art
