Socio-politically loud

The darkest, angriest, most socio-politically active lesbian in America is coming to Ohio, and she will open minds and blow them to the back of the auditorium.

Otep Shamaya, namesake, songwriter and lead singer for the band Otep, uses metal music as an outlet for her poetry and to raise consciousness about a variety of issues, including the ongoing violence in Darfur, depression, suicide, rape, domestic violence and pregnancy.

The band's third album, the_Ascension, brings in two new members: drummer Brian Wolff and former American Head Charge guitarist Karma Cheema, along with bass player Jason McGuire, who plays under the name "eViL j.”

Ranging from the eardrum-bursting thrashing cacophony of "March of the Martyrs" to moodier tracks like "Ghostflowers," the album is a tour of the darker, and harsher, side of the musical landscape. Working with producer Dave Fortman, whose previous successes with Mudvayne and Evanescence put him on the map, there are elements not only of those two bands' songs, but also of Queens of the Stone Age and Siouxsie and the Banshees, among others.

However, with Shamaya's poetry and versatility of her bandmates, combined with the desire to help people that motivates her, the album (and upcoming concerts) defy description.

Otep will be traveling through Ohio from May 8 to 10, touring with the band Static X. On May 8, they will play Newport Music Hall in Columbus, followed by Bogart's in Cincinnati on May 9 and the House of Blues in Cleveland on May 10.
